Enlightenment 0.16.0 Release

Posted by Roblimo on from the submitted-by-everyone-and-his-sister dept.

Mandrake writes "Enlightenment 0.16.0 came out this afternoon. Come play with what we've been toiling over for the past few months. Lots of new features from 0.15 - come check it out. Maybe now we can go and get some sleep. If you are at Atlanta Linux Showcase this week, we've even got shirts to hand out."

    If it helps any, one thing I've discovered recently is that the theme you use has can have a *huge* impact on how Enlightenment performs. If it's a theme with a lot of large images, E's memory usage can be as much as doubled (or worse, I suppose, depending on the theme -- the worst I've done is double it).

    I've got no problems whatsoever with the way Enlightenment performs on my system, and have found it at least as responsive as Windows. I'd say it's even better, but that's hard to guage accurately (especially not having run Windows on anything for close to a year now).

    On a side note, E 0.16 rocks. I've been grabbing it from CVS since 0.15 came out, and I'm really impressed with the how new features have turned out, and really look forward to the stuff that's planned so far for 0.17. I highly recommend giving this release a shot.

    Thanks to Mandrake, Raster, and the whole rest of the AUTHORS file for one hell of a kick-ass desktop!
