On Wed, 02 Mar 2005 01:46:12 -0500 dan sinclair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> babbled: (B (Baaah this looks excellent. having this is good. now if we can add this to the (Bwebsite (just ask for an account) as news items.. that'd be perfect. :) (B (B> The Path To Enlightenment 1 (B> --------------------------- (B> (B> Well, its been mentioned that something like a note dropped now and then (B> would be handy for the coding effort, new user integration. So, since I (B> don't feel like anything else, here's a first stab. (B> (B> Let me know if there is anything blatantly wrong, corrections to be made (B> etc. This is a first run, so be nice. (B> (B> (B> Mini Freeze (B> ----------- (B> The mini freeze is ongoing. Items are popping off the freeze list, so (B> hopefully all the blockers will be thawed and we can move onto some cool (B> new features. (B> (B> (B> Versioning (B> ---------- (B> There was a bit of a stir caused by some versioning changes raster put (B> in last week, .001 was appended to each of the libs and any _preX stuff (B> has been removed. This caused a bit of a problem with some of the (B> current makefiles. Most of which should be worked out. (B> (B> The reason for the change was to make automated releases easier, (B> simplifying everyones life and letting raster script his releases, so (B> we'll hopefully see the more often. (B> (B> (B> Engage (B> ------ (B> Engage has been enhanced to have an e17 module. This changes means that (B> you will _have_ to have e17 built and installed before compiling engage. (B> But the module is coming along, and some of the current plans sound (B> quite interesting. Who knows, maybe it'll convince me a launcher isn't (B> inherently evil. (B> (B> Imlib2 (B> ------ (B> A change was made to Imlib2's configure script that seemed to cause (B> problems for Gentoo users. If you were experiencing problems building (B> Imlib2 and getting undefined references to X calls, try updating your (B> Imlib2 and rebuilding, everything should be fixed. (B> (B> (B> e_utils (B> ------- (B> If you haven't seen it e_utils is kicking around the apps dir of CVS and (B> contains a couple of utility programs to help with e17. The are: (B> - emblem a GUI program to set e17s bg. (B> - e17setroot a cmdline program to generate/set e17 bgs. (B> - eapp_edit an EWL program to create eapp files for e17 menus. (B> (B> (B> Enterminus (B> ---------- (B> Enterminus is an Evas based terminal. Its very, very new, but works for (B> some things, resizing was recently fixed in CVS, there are still issues (B> with scrolling, but there being worked on. (B> (B> (B> Helping Out (B> ----------- (B> Raster has put out a general call for help, looking for people to work (B> on docs, or summaries of dev work, articles, or general FUD fighting. (B> The currently EFL docs are scattered throughout the code and can use a (B> lot of work, there are errors generating Doxygen and things like that. (B> If you want to help, check whats around and send some patches. (B> (B> (B> e17menugen (B> ---------- (B> Tying into the above, there is been a project started to generate e17s (B> menus from KDE/GNOME menus on the system. (B> http://sourceforge.net/projects/e17genmenu if you want more information (B> or to help out. (B> (B> EFL Snapshots (B> ------------- (B> Snapshots of the EFL are available from (B> http://code-monkey.de/e-snapshots if for some reason you can't access (B> CVS or have problems in the autogen stage take a look at these snaps, (B> they might help you out. I belive they are generated nightly. (B> (B> (B> Live CDs (B> -------- (B> There was a question about live CDs on the mailing list, with the (B> pointer to: http://livecd.debianitas.net/ popping up if your interested (B> in trying E on a live cd. (B> (B> (B> Freedesktop Standards (B> --------------------- (B> As arises now and then, the question of E following fdo standards. E (B> does use these, take a look at Epsilon, a program to generate the thumb (B> nails based on the fdo spec. In terms of the .desktop files, E has its (B> own system in place to handle menus, but we want to write programs to (B> import/maintain these menus. For more info on this, check out rasters (B> mail to the e-devel mailing list. (B> (B> (B> Evas Textblock (B> -------------- (B> The evas_object_textblock has been improving and should be mostly useful (B> in any user code. If your currently using Etox for anything I'd start (B> taking a closer look to the textblock as Etox will be getting phased out (B> as textblock becomes more widely adopted. If you want to see some usage (B> of textblock take a look at http://rasterman.com/files and find the (B> current expedite tar ball. There is some example code in there. (B> (B> (B> -------------------------- (B> This summary is done by dan sinclair, if you have any questions, (B> comments, suggestions or things you'd like added to the next summary, (B> send them to me: zero at everburning.com.
