+Trying out 0.16.8
+=================
+
+WARNING!!! This is work in progress.
+WARNING!!! Some features have been disabled for now, and things may be broken
+WARNING!!! here and there.
+
+Major "external" changes:
+- "enlightenment" has been renamed to "e16" to avoid conflicts with stable
+ versions.
+- The user configuration directory is "~/.e16".
+- The data install path is "<somepath>/e16", e.g. "/usr/share/e16".
+Thus, an e16.8 installation should not clash with any other versions.
+- The main configuration file is now plain ASCII.
+- The configuration is stored per display and per screen. E.g. for
+ DISPLAY=:1.0 the main configuration file is "~/.e16/e_config--1.0.cfg".
+- Many IPC(eesh) commands have been changed, possibly breaking compatibility
+ with a few epplets.
+
+Major internal changes:
+- The event handling/dispatching has been rewritten.
+- Actions(used by menus, keybindings, etc.) and IPC functions(eesh) have
+ been merged.
+- The code has been somewhat modularised.
+
+New features:
+- Built-in composite manager.
+- An iconbox can be configured to act as System Tray
+ (middle mouse->Desktop->Create Systray).
+
+
+Composite Manager
+-----------------
+
+NB! This is unfinished code. It works to some degree but major changes are
+required to make things work properly.
+To mention a few issues:
+- Transparency only works on the root window.
+- Some animation effects (sliding/shading) do not work properly.
+
+Configure with --enable-composite, make, make install as usual.
+
+To enable the composite manager:
+Start E16.8
+$ eesh -e "set compmgr.mode 1"
+Restart E.
+
+Use
+$ eesh -e "set compmgr.mode 0"
+and restart to turn it off.
+
+To enable shadows:
+$ eesh -e "set compmgr.shadow 1"
+or
+$ eesh -e "set compmgr.shadow 2"
+Restart E.
+
+The settings can also be changed by editing ~/.e16/e_config--x.y.cfg and
+restarting E.
