Enlightenment E19 Pre-Alpha Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the onward-and-upward dept.

An anonymous reader writes "While it took over a decade for E17 to come out, Enlightenment E19 is being readied for release just two months after E18's debut. The Enlightenment DR 0.19 update has a rewritten compositor that can fully act as its own Wayland compositor (not dependent upon Weston). The update integrates OpenGL canvas filters support, contains many bug-fixes, and has other improvements for both X11 and Wayland users. The 1.9.0 alpha1 pre-release was issued today as the initial testing version of the new window manager."

    Nope - this one: http://freecode.com/projects/t... Still exists; but last time I tried I had trouble getting it working.

    If you tried before December 21, 2012 that was a pre-release. The 0.17.0 release was on Doomsday.

    e17, 18 and 19 are really just like e16 - just with more bits thrown in. the filemanager is built in. it's not a separate app (like nautilus for example). it's really in the same vein/design just with a vastly more modular codebase and a small mountain of custom written toolkit behind it.
