Enlightenment Lives
Anonymous Coward writes "The Enlightenment Project, far from dead, is pleased to announce the DR16.7.1 release of the Enlightenment Window Manager. With tons of fixes, a massive overhaul of the internals, and several new features this release is a must try for those who haven't run E in a long time. The window manager that redefined the way a desktop can look is still going strong."
Enlightenment sure brings back memories. I'll have to try it out sometime if I ever decide to give up my powerbook.
Are the voices in my head bothering you?
I heard they were porting Duke Nukem Forever to D17!!
I hope Rasterman has remembered to include plenty of that CPU-crushing eyecandy that was the major (indeed only) feature of earlier releases.
I always found Enlightenment to be the most enjoyable of WMs, as it felt so good when you stopped using it.
Enlightenment - the best advertisement for Ratpoison yet!
Sure E is great but do you not feel very tired and thirsty after using it?.
Some times when using E I think my desktop is out to get me.
Don't get me wrong, I really love E!
Oh wait... what? It's almost september? WTF is going on here...
i can't wait till it hits 1.0..

nope, everyone is waiting for e17
forget it.
Dragging people kicking and screaming into reality since 1996.
Anyone noticed the title of the song being played on this screenshot? (see the bottom right)
Rasterman has even given a glimpse of the power these libs will bring to the programmer with his own version of a DVD player, using the EFL, in just 17 lines of code!
That's nothing. I'm sure a Perl hacker could do it in one line.

Where can I find screenshots of this new release?
On the Enlightenment site, under "Screenshots".

Unbelievable, must have slept for a while. What's next? Doom III?
I remeber back in the old days when everyone used either E or Windowmaker or Afterstep.
Gawd, I feel old. The old days to me means when vtwm came out.
*sigh*
I just re-installed linux last night, and enlightenment is my WM of choice...go over to the website....dum dee dum....
It was released today? WTF?
Weird coincidence...ok proceed to mod this down...
I had just settled for a quiet night, just me, the fags, the vodka...
I never knew!
...and always will be. :)
I think you're missing a ELF header.

For example, lots of software is Mac only, and so the rest of us miss out.
You use that word but I don't think it means what you think it means...
lots
n : a large number or amount; "made lots of new friends"; "she amassed a mountain of newspapers" [syn: tons, dozens, heaps, mountain, piles, scores, stacks, loads, rafts, slews, wads, oodles, gobs, scads, lashings]

That's it.
... this is so OT, I'm almost tempted to post anon. But what the hell. I bet there's not even enough people who remember The Shamen to mod me up....
Market research by drug pushers in the US discovered that 'Ecstacy' just wasn't catchy enough for users in the American market. After many focus groups were formed, it was decided to pro-actively radicalize the Ecstacy brand. In order to dynamically push the envelope of the established paradigm, it was decided to extreme-ify the Ecstacy brand by 73%.
Thus, what Europe knows as Ecstacy or 'E' is called Xstacy or simply 'X'.
Sadly, it means that by and large, the US missed out on the subtext of The Shamen's 1992 hit, "Ebeneezer Goode" -- "E's are good / E's are good / He's Ebeneezer Goode"
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
