Hi guys,

As most of you following the svn commits may have seen, we're
developing Ethumb (http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/Ethumb), an
in-process and a client-server thumbnail generator that is meant to
replace Epsilon, removing many implementation and design problems
found in that project.

The project is quite mature now and ProFUSION is using it for some
internal projects with great success. Viktor is also using it in his
image-viewer. So we'd like to deprecate the old project moving it to
OLD and so would like to ask people to move their projects to use
Ethumb instead. Python bindings will come soon as well and Canola will
be ported to it.

The DBus dependency is just on client-server and we want (but no time
ATM) to have the server to listen to more IPC systems, possibly
ecore_ipc or raw unix sockets. It should be able to transparently
process events from all sources. With some changes we can make various
IPC optional at runtime or compile time, no real need on our part but
if someone wants to implement this we could help.
