* //2018-08-17 - by Stefan Schmidt//
|
|
|
|
After 12 months of development work we are proud to announce the release of
|
|
version 1.21 of the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. In these 12 months we got
|
|
almost 5000 commits from 96 authors. Great job everyone! Some highlights are listed below.

== What's New ==
|
|
|
|
We only cover some highlights here. For the full list please look at the NEWS file,
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
== Wayland, DRM and Input ==
|
|
The wayland protocol implementations still remains a highly active area in EFL. This cycle we have
|
|
seen the addition of an EFL specific hints protocol for setting aspect on surfaces and the support of
|
|
xdg-shell vfinal. Our drm2 and libinput usage gained support for setting pointer acceleration speed.
|
|
|
|
== Edje ==
|
|
To aid the, sometimes very hard, debugging of edje files an embryo echo command was added.
|
|
It is now also possible to reference images from other edje files. The biggest change however is the
|
|
possibility to have edje_cc verify namespace usage during compilation . This also has been enabled in
|
|
tree (with the whitelisting of some exceptions we can not change). We hope this will help to avoid
|
|
these kind of problems for the future.
|
|
|
|
== Evas ==
|
|
The Eavs subsystem added async canvas text layout functionality and improvements on font
|
|
handling. A scale feature for embedded bitmap fonts and support for different H/V font DPI
|
|
has been aded. Last but not least we added align=end in textblock for putting a text at the
|
|
opposite side of LTR/RTL.
|
|
|
|
== Elementary ==
|
|
A new text on patch widget was introduced this cycle together with a item pin feature in genlist.
|
|
Additionally elm_entry was enhanced with a prediction hints API.
|
|
|
|
== Eolian ==
|
|
Eolian improved its parsing in various areas. One being deferred parsing of inherits as well
|
|
as better static checks of the given eo files. New API's have been added for part
|
|
enumeration and to query information about objects.
