In case people haven't tried but want an idea of what things look like:

I have polished up emixer and the mixer module a bit, added icons for sinks with
the new sink icons rules, added VU meters to inputs/outputs/playback streams.

If you haven't tried e for a while. bluez5 support is there and it's very
polished. the popup does almost everything you need fro pairing, unpairing,
forcing a connect. setting a device to always connect, to set a bt device to a
lock/unlock device (if bt device can be pinged, e is unlocked, if it cant be
pinged again for a little while, e auto-locks itself - handy to pair your phone
and set it as an unlock device - walk away from your pc and it just locks).
Bluez5 will also show battery status of bt devices that advertise this (like
wireless bt kbds/mice).

The battery module now has a useful full details popup for all your batteries
too thanks to netstar.

Music control talks to more mpris clients and now has an auto-detect logic to
find one. it supports album art and blayback position/status if the mpris
player supports it, so it works fully with rage, and with spotify you get the
album art and play/pause/prev/next but spotify doesn't advertise play position
updates. it also has a bug with the linux client with the album art urls - so i
added a fix/workaround just for spotify as they seem to be uninterested in
fixing it given the bug reports i read. this meant adding http fetch support to
get the album art too. Music control will handle chromium (e.g. youtube too).

Temperature now supports proper hwmon sensors. you can now add multiple temp
gadgets each watching a different temp sensor (just configure each to be a
different one), so e.g. you can monitor your cpu separately to gpu.

winlist (the list of windows when you alt-tab) now has a "large mode" (in
settings - it's the new default mode too). large mode is much like exposé. lots
of large window previews. alt+tab brings this up by default. if you hold alt
you can use arrow keys (up/down/left/right) to navigate too as well as numbers
1-9 and 0 for first 10 items. if you bind winlist to a key or button without a
modifier it will come up and stay until dismissed (it wont dismiss when
modifier is released). so click on what u want, use arrow keys, hit enter or
escape. so window switching is more useful now.

I've added exif support to efm's file properties dialog to show date photos
were taken on too.

efm rename now selects the file minus the extension for more useful renames.

For those that have been away a while, backlight now supports DDC to control
the backlight on your monitor. you have to install libddcutil (or ddcutil - it
comes with the lib and e dlopens the lib at runtime to detect). DDC allows us
to communicate with the monitor remotely over hdmi/displayport. it requires
i2c-dev to do this and enlightenment_system will load that for you (on linux),
but note - this works on intel systems, but my amd box has the kernel hang when
trying to do this so .. ymmv. To use this - just load backlight module and put
a backlight gadget on each screen. the gadget will adjust brightness of THAT
screen. it works on laptops too - where backlight on the lid screen will
control that and on external screens will control those. this means the
backlight/dimming settings work across laptops and desktops.

I can talk about terminology, rage, evisum and now entice too, but I'm sticking
to E here.

This is out-of-tree, but netstar fixed up forecasts to now use a new weather
service that we end up proxying (requirements of the service to cut down
overhead on their servers), so weather works now after yahoo shut down their
weather service in february.
