1. configure/build changes to allow cross-compiling painlessly
2. pager module namespace changes - this was still dirty afdter the namespace
cleanup, so clean it up
3. add a powersave subsystem - doesnt have an "automatic" way to turn on and
off right now, this i think is best provided by modules (that do things like
monitor acpi status's (eg close lid of laptop), AC power status etc. etc.
this allows e to nicely defer "power" expensive actions to avoid disk
spinups etc.
4. move to use the new ecore poller system - discussed long ago as part of
power management/saving issues. now it exists
5. add a canvas idle flush call that helsp cope with the new shm greedy
software x11 engine stuff
6. use the new powersave subsystem where appropriate
7. fix non-zeroed/initted memory access in e_fm_main
8. fix mem leak for e menus
9. remove ipc handlers for changed/removed config values
10. use animaotr not timer for menu scrolls - then menu scrolls obey the fps
config
11. fix up timer/poll happienss of cursor idle stuff
12. remove avoid damage from popups for now - causing problems
13. change battery and temp readouts to b e shorter so they fit
14. pager can emit signals on focus change for mini-windows now
15. temperature module now uses a slave process and uses stdin/out to talk to
it and get output - this makes e smoother as in my expereicne i found getting
the temp on my laptop actually took like 200ms so e "hang" for 200ms while
reading the acpi files - so now the subprocess does it and just writesa back
to e when it gets it.
ecore:
1. add ecore_pollers. see the documentation on them in doxygen comments :)
2. fix timers to only go off when they have to - bug there that made e's
select time out a LOT more than it needed to. defensive coding hid the
problem. now fixed. e should be much more power friendly now.
3. formatting/niceness in ecore_exe stuff
4. some comments on comments with SIGIO ideas vs. select
5. add call to be able to add an idle enterer at the start of the list of
them, not just the end (as has been the default)
6. fix ecore_evas to support auto evas idler calls after 0.5 secs of idle in
all canvases - and to do it right
7. if argb destination - set the shape EVENT shape (to mask out events in
transparent regions much like shape does withotu translucency)
8. in ecore_x add support for the event shape
evas:
1. fix cache to work properly and not just always fill up (as it seemed to
like to think cahce useage dropped below 0 when it didnt and thus just
over-fill)
2. software x11 engine now ONLY uses shm segments - no ximages over the
socket. this ximage hack was there to avoid the 2 round trips involved in
setting up an shm image - now i mitigated that wih an shm image cache pool.
it keeps shm images around and repurposes them for new update regions if
appropriate. this means many fewer shm creates (about 1/100th the number) and
since we recycle the memory less 0 memory page filling by the kernel - in the
end, i recorded about a 10-20% speedup over the old software x11 engine.
simple tests i have seen up to 120% speedups. idle flush now does something -
it frees all the cached shm segments. it has a hard-coded limit of 4mb worth
of shm segments (or 32 segments - whichever comes first) to keep around. once
can never complain much about speedups methinks :). also evas will defer sync
until the NEXT frame is written - this means evas can calculate the next
frame of data while x dma's/copies the images to the screen at the same time
(if you hve a dual core or multi-cpu machnike or your xserver is able to use
DMA to copy image data to the screen/video ram then this should see a decent
speedup).

Added Ecore_IMF module. This module enables different input methods to be
used with Ecore. Input methods modules can be created using the Ecore_IMF
interface.
Added ecore_evas_window_get method to allow input methods to request
the window related to a given Ecore_Evas when available.

WARNING: this breaks the API, if you rely on ecore_evas_cursor_get(), you
need to get the "Evas_Object *" instead of the filename.
Now the code is smaller and we can handle any object, including Edje.
Patch by Cedric BAIL.

* The XCB backend is disabled by default during the
configuration. To enable it, add --enable-ecore-x-xcb. See the
messages that configure displays when it finishes.
* The way XCB is detected, and used in src/lib/ecore_x/Makefile.am
should be improved
* Any program that uses ecore_evas does not need to be modified.
Any program that uses ecore_x may need some changes. That is,
adding some functions (_prefetch and _fetch ones). No other
change is needed. See the documention of any _get functions, as
these are the ones that need those functions.
* There are some missing parts, especially everything that involves
the keyboard, as porting Xlib functions related to strings (utf8
stuff, XKeysymToString, etc...) is an horror. So keyboard events
are not working yet.
* I tried to write as much documentation as I could. But there is
certainly some missing doc here and there.
there are certainly other things that I have forgotten.
Improvements of that backend:
* the creation of an ecore_evas is faster. Especially when done over
an ssh connection (on my computer, 7-10s with Xlib, 1.5s with XCB,
over an ssh)
* A Window Manager should be more responsive. But it's not tomorrow
that e17 will use it :)
Have fun !

- question: do we want to implement ecore_evas_callback_sticky_set or something similar that will tell the programmer when the sticky bit has changed? I think it would be a good idea to do it here as opposed to doing it inside Etk for example.
