from the desktop-nirvana dept.

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?

    A bit harsh, but thanks, you pointed me in the right direction (what you wrote threw error messages, but even that was informative...):
    I just added
    bindsym $mod+g exec guake
    and all is good.
    Thanks again (new to i3, but enjoying it: AND learned something new, so yes... thanks!)

    Will explore the other options in config!

    Will have to look up what j4-demenu-desktop is... not installed on my system.
