Hi, As some/many/none of you know, I'll be mostly unavailable and unable to make much progress with E for the next month or so while I move internationally and change jobs/ISPs. Given that things are in pretty good shape now, I'm not too concerned. Just revert any commits that Cedric makes and things should be just fine.
This seems like a good time for all the armchair E developers to focus on something other than the relative lack of bugs, so I've taken some time to brain dump the basics plans for a future release of E (which will not begin development any time soon) wherein the currently-terrible gadget subsystem will be scrapped and completely rewritten along with all existing gadgets. This has been badly needed for quite some time, but it's basically a release on its own so I've avoided making any changes here unless absolutely necessary since there's more pressing matters. This is why there are no new gadgets being added/merged and why there will be none until such a release occurs. The gadget page can be found here: https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/gadget_design/ I encourage anyone and everyone to read it over and add their thoughts where applicable. If you don't care about the underlying design, I'm always looking for new gadget ideas; keep in mind that we are fully composited now, and these typesof APIs are getting easier and more effective to use by the day, so gadget-related effects are on the table. If you are someone who might consider writing a gadget, please consider helpers/features you'd like to have in related APIs to make your life easier. All I ask is that ideas actually be posted onto the page in addition to being argued about on the mailing list. It's much easier to reference things posted on a wiki than it is to sift through old mails, so I'll likely ignore anything not on the wiki when implementation time comes. Hope nobody misses me too much, Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
