E20 is out. Straight from the horse's mouth:

The E20 development cycle has come to a close, with 1890 patches submitted by over 50 developers in the course of 441 days.
25+ reported Coverity analyzer issues and 165 tickets were addressed during this time (based on commit message tagging).
I'd like to personally thank everyone who contributed, whether by submitting patches, writing documentation, reporting bugs, or simply providing feedback on IRC.
The bug reporting MVP for this cycle was @ApB with 231 submitted tickets: an impressive echievement, though I regret that only about 70% of these tickets were able to be solved.

Release Highlights

  • Full Wayland support
  • New screen management infrastructure and dialog
  • New audio mixer infrastructure and gadget
  • Many internal widgets replaced with Elementary
  • Improved FreeBSD support
  • Geolocation module

The complete log can be seen here.

Every time they release a new major version I feel compelled to try it, then I remember why I don't dig Enlightenment. It's just too hardcore a desktop environment for me. Any of you lot use it regularly or do I have company in my ass-pansy-ness?

    It seemed light on native applications too, which force me back to kde.

    You're doing it wrong.

    "Enlightenment includes functions to provide a graphical shell, and it can be used in conjunction with programs written for GNOME or KDE." - Wikipedia.
