Next snapshot is due Monday, September 7th. We plan to skip August to have time to merge Google Summer of Code projects and do aggressive hacking, but maybe we can find some room to another release. If things go well this will be the "alpha" snapshot and then we move on to beta, release candidates and final release! But we need to finish features and improve overall quality, get your editors and hack!

The installers (with and without debug symbols) have been uploaded. They are based on revision 41042 of the svn repository. They can be found in the binary packages page.

The installed EFL are Evil, Eina, Eet, Evas, Ecore, Embryo, Edje, Elementary and Ewl. Expedite, as well as all needed dependencies, are also installed.

Development files (import and static libraries, header files, .pc files) can be installed if they are selected.

André Pedralho just  announced at enlightenment-devel mail list that his team at INdT released Webkit-EFL 0.1, the first release of this integration project.

Webkit-EFL brings together the power of webkit rendering engine to EFL applications, integrating with ecore main loop, evas canvas and input system as well as themes using edje. Rendering is done using cairo and networking uses curl, so shares base components with other webkit ports as GTK.

Similarly to Edje and Elementary, everything is exposed to developers as Evas_Object, so you can swallow, clip and go as crazy as you would with any other object. In fact, it's double-buffered using an internal image object. That is good since you can resize, clip, fade and move without paying re-render price, but be aware that it can add some overhead for pages with heavy animations (nothing comes for free, sorry ;-))

The code was developed mainly by  INdT/Manaus. It is hosted at gitorious so it's easy to clone and contribute, as well as rebase with upstream webkit, which they do on a regular basis.

We have a sample browser using webkit-efl in svn, it's called Eve and lives under PROTO/eve, please join development so we can have great integration of Enlightenment and web technologies, rendering web content inside our apps.

Hi all,

Thanks to huge effort by various contributors we're proud to provide a stable development snapshot of EFL and a new release of Eet library. Please help with testing and packaging it for your distribution, so we can get wider testing.

Hello all,

If you follow Release you will notice that more and more items are being strike out in the past months due work of many individuals, we'd like to thank them all. Among contributors we can even find out nice examples like Luca De Marini that is not a programmer but fund/help the work of Sergey P. Semernin to help finish that list.

I'd like to ask more people to step in and help, either with code directly of following Luca's example and finding a developer to do so (no need to pay, you can find a friend willing to do work). If you are willing to help but have no deep knowledge of the project, we can aid you with such tasks. Lots of them just require basic C skills, like converting Ecore/Evas? data types usage to Eina (in Ecore, E_DBus, efreet, ...). We also need developers with optimizations and profiling skills to help with Efreet (not much to think, it's all known, just need manpower to implement).

Last but not least we need bug reports, and bug report reviewing! The last part is important, for example we had a bug listed as "efm will not work with other fm's drag&drop" but it does, so go there and comment on bugs. Not all developers spend lots of time on Trac (shame on me!), so if you have a bug that is there for some time without any comments, don't be afraid and post it here (e-devel or e-users), or talk with us at IRC (#edevelop or #e), maybe you can have your problems fixed by the end of the day ;-)

That's it, let's rock!
