Hi guys, I installed the new shr-testing image today. I'm so impressed at how much the software has changed just since the last testing. Really, I wasn't expecting so much. So thanks.
To start with the bad. After freshly reformating my uSD card and untarring the -lite image into it, the phone booted and for half a second showed the 1st install wizard, then started to load illume (covering the install wizard). I pressed the 'back' button which appeared (when things were still loading), and after about a second Enlightenment came up with a SIG(can't remember what, sorry) box, I pressed 'kill', and decided to reimage. So I re-untarred, to ensure I had a clean image, and tried again. This time the wizard came up fine, until I was at the "Enter root password" screen, when (about a second after I switched to the terminal keyboard) Enlightenment informed me of a SIGABRT. I pressed recover, and things loaded ok, and I was able to finish the 1st time wizard. After that things went fine. To make you feel better after that bad experience, I am very happy to find that the 2 bugs which really annoyed me (suspend not working and the keyboard not handling reorientation) are now fixed, which is great. And I think the interface of illume 2, with the back and close buttons on the bottom, is much clearer than that of illume 1. Another thing I really like is the menu that appears when the power button is pressed. /Really/ nice to be able to choose the profile easily, a well as shutdown etc. It's a pity it takes about 1 second to appear, but that's OK. One thing is that I seem to be more frequently selecting but not starting applications from the home screen. That is, I tap on them on the screen, and they're surrounded by a black border, but they aren't started unless I tap them again. Is this by design? What's the use of it? The shr-today screen is slightly less beautiful now, as the image is stretched and somewhat pixelated. The upside is that it does look much better when in landscape orientation. These are my first impressions - I'll open bug reports for these things in the next few days. But as I say, overall, I'm really really happy to see the development. So thanks again!
