More technical details on what's in and out of this release (1.0): - NO guarana merge, the so called one is not happening. elm_widget will remain as the single smart object and no inheritance will be allowed. However elm_widget.h is already installed to /usr/include and may be used with caution to extend elementary using its hooks. To avoid breakages, when we get to it we'll likely create an elm_base or similar that will be an inheritable smart object. - except for a single widget and a helper (animation/transition) that is missing from Samsung, no other widgets are planned. Don't expect much more than what we have now. - don't expect new theme --- no efenniht as default as there is no manpower to finish it :-( - elementary_config will be usable, actually saving the profile and implementing the missing tabs. - API will get missing getters, setters, const... and checks to avoid crashes. - focus and keyboard navigation should work, at least reasonably. - profiles will be used more wisely, with standard being the desktop one and it should look more like what a desktop would expect. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
