Posted by Unknown on from the symbolics-did-it-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The E17 Enlightenment project has released a new version of its Terminology terminal emulator. With Terminology 0.3 comes several fancy features, including the ability to preview video files, images, and PDF files from within the terminal. There's new escape sequences, inline video playback, and other features to this terminal emulator that's only built on EFL and libc."

    For every window manager, there's a terminal wishing it were a window manager.

    Why have a window manager at all when one may have emacs?

    How long will it take for the "Terminology is a great OS, all that is lacking is a terminal" joke to be relevant?

      Judging by the time it took to get E17 out, I'm not so sure that any of us will still be alive by then.

    Who cares about image and video preview in a terminal? I'm more blown away by the fact that the terminal is self-aware!
