I really disagree with this. Over the past months we dig, among other things: - systray, getting ride of one of the most requested gadgets. - lots of efm improvements, progress indicator and all. - places menu was integrated, sharing gtk-bookmarks with gnome/gtk apps. - fdo icons and option to let users override e icons with fdo icon set. - offline and presentation modes. - parallax effect for desktop panning/background. - edge bindings. - scaling factors. - ui improvements as syscon and conf modules, with better dialogs. having someone that is not the developer to write small articles (blog) or just announcing its existence (twitter) would help people to know about that, how e17 is changing and etc... But we should not receive drastic changes, at least not many, in the next months. While raster still plan to finish wallpaper2 and move other dialogs to be similar to it (init themes, themes...), we're doing http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/Release and quite close to finish it on the user interface front. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
