= Enlightenment Foundation Libraries 1.16 and Friends are Out = After three months of development work we are proud to announce the release of version 1.16 of the EFL, Elementary, Evas Generic Loaders and Emotion Generic Players. In these 12 weeks we got over 700 commits from 58 authors in EFL alone. We slowed down a bit from last release (by around 300 commits). Elementary has another 382 commits by 52 authors. Great job everyone! Some highlights are listed below.

We only cover some highlights here. For the full list please look at the NEWS files if you are interested in the details. As usual we have been working on fixing bugs, optimising our code for speed and memory footprint and adding new features. Below we describe just some highlights and by no means provide a full list. = EFL = == Wayland == The focus of work on our wayland areas have been stabilisation and filling of gaps for the upcoming E20 release. To make 1.16 a solid base for it work has been gone to make the evas drm engine more solid and adding support for things like adjusting keyboard repeat and rate delay, etc == Evas GL == Besides some normal optimisation evas GL got support for the new partial update extension. == Eina == To aid debugging and tooling infrastructure eina thread does now support setting thread names and many internal threads are already named. == Eo (BETA) == A lot of optimisation, memory as well as CPU time, has been gone into EO this time. Initially we hoped to declare EO stable after this development cycle, but we need to postpone this for at least another cycle as some more optimisation are being planned which might break ABI. == Elementary == We improved our thumbscroll finger scrolling to be smoother and worked on various parts of focus handling of items. On the ATSPI front we added a translation domain for name and description as well as support for the org.a11y.atspi.Collection interface. ---- = Statistics = == EFL == (git log --pretty=oneline v1.15.0..v1.16.0 | wc -l) Number of commits: 701 (git shortlog -ns v1.15.0..v1.16.0 | wc -l) Number of authors: 58 (git diff --stat v1.15.0..v1.16.0 | tail -1) 546 files changed, 52121 insertions(+), 24088 deletions(-) == Elementary == (git log --pretty=oneline v1.15.0..v1.16.0 | wc -l) Number of commits: 382 (git shortlog -ns v1.15.0..v1.16.0 | wc -l) Number of authors: 52 (git diff --stat v1.15.0..v1.16.0 | tail -1) 305 files changed, 23711 insertions(+), 15250 deletions(-) ---- =Building and Dependencies= If you have an existing EFL or Elementary install, you may wish to delete its header files and libraries before compiling and installing to avoid possible conflicts during compilation. If you are compiling the above, please compile them in the following order: efl elementary emotion_generic_players evas_generic_loaders Please refer to the respective README files in each release for a full list of dependencies, explanations on configure flags and other relevant information (Just scroll down to see the README already displayed nicely). EFL Elementary Emotion Generic Players Evas Generic Loaders Recommended dependencies are for all of the above are: bullet libpng libjpeg gstreamer (1.x) (ensure you have all the gstreamer codecs you need/want.) zlib luajit (optional lua 5.1 or 5.2) libtiff openssl curl dbus libc fontconfig freetype2 fribidi libpulse libsndfile libx11 libxau libxcomposite libxdamage libxdmcp libxext libxfixes libxinerama libxrandr libxrender libxss libxtst libxcursor libxp libxi (2.2 or newer) libgl (opengl/glx or opengl-es2/egl) giflib util-linux (limbount + libblkid) systemd / libudev harfbuzz systemd libwebp vlc (libvlc) poppler libraw libspectre librsvg It is suggested you add the following options when building the EFL to get a better experience: --enable-xinput22 \ --enable-multisense \ --enable-systemd \ --enable-image-loader-webp \ --enable-harfbuzz On linux to get framebuffer support you may want to also do: --enable-fb --disable-tslib If you want wayland support also add: --enable-wayland At runtime if you want thumbnailing for DOC/PPT/XLS etc. files also provide: libreoffice ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Presto, an open source distributed SQL query engine for big data, initially developed by Facebook, enables you to easily query your data on Hadoop in a more interactive manner.
