> = What's New =
>
> Many major things have happened to EFL in the past year since EFL 1.7 first
> came out. The usual has been done in fixing bugs, optimizing speed and
> memory
> footprint, and much much more. These are just some hilights of what has
> been
> done since 1.7, so don't take this as a complete list. Take a look at the
> NEWS
> files for more expansive information if you want that.
>
> == Merged EFL tree ==
>
> We have merged **Ecore**, **Edje**, **Eet**, **Eeze**, **Efreet**,
> **Eina**,
> **Eio**, **Embryo**, **Emotion**, **Ethumb**, **Evas** and **Evil** into a
> single **EFL** package (as you can see above these are no longer there, but
> inside the EFL distribution). We also added in **Eldbus**, **EPhysics**,
> and
> **Escape**.
>
> **Eldbus** a replacement for **E_dbus**, which is still able to be built in
> it's 1.7 form but will no longer be updated or maintained, but still
> functions
> against EFL 1.8 if you depend on it.
>
> **EPhysics** is a new library that glues in the Bullet physics engine into
> EFL
> to allow you to make use of an entire physics engine easily and simply in
> your
> creations. **Edje** also makes use of this allowing your themes to use it
> too.
>
> == New Theme for Elementary ==
>
> **Elementary** now has the same dark look at Enlightenment 0.7 debuted
> with. It
> looks far sleeker and more consistent now. This theme also contains all the
> theme elements for Enlightenment too, unifying themes into a single entity
> now.
>
> == Office document loading for Generic Loaders ==
>
> **Evas Generic Loaders** now can harness Libreoffice to generate
> thumbnails for
> common office document formats.
>
> == Wayland support majorly improved ==
>
> **EFL** now has fairly complete support for everything in Wayland 1.3. As a
> client it does most things right and is certainly usable now for day to day
> usage.
>
> == Async rendering in Evas ==
>
> Software rendering in Evas now works asynchronously by default. That means
> that
> while your app is doing application logic in your main-loop a background
> thread
> is also handling rendering for Evas. This should reduce frame-drops and
> stutters allowing you to make use of more CPU cores as well.
>
> == Object model and safety ==
>
> Inside of EFL a new Object model is being created, called Eo. This starts
> to
> unify the ad-hoc object systems EFL has had and begins a journey on the
> way to
> EFL 2.0, providing interfaces, multiple-inheritance, unified callback
> prototypes, introspection and weak and strong references among other
> things.
> Currently Eo is not considered Stable as an API, but functions solidly. It
> also
> adds benefits of removing direct pointer access to existing EFL objects and
> puts them behind a table indirection which should remove any crashes when
> it
> comes to accessing invalid object handles. Object pointers are no longer
> real
> pointers, but are IDs in a table. For compatibility we place these new IDs
> into
> the old object pointers.
>
> == Audio support ==
>
> Ecore Audio is now there. Only with an Eo API, so currently unstable
> (API-wise), but working solidly. It is used by Edje now to provide the
> ability
> for theme files to have sound effects.

> = Building and Dependencies =

> If you have an existing EFL or Elementary install, you may wish to delete

>   # efl
>   # elementary

> Please refer to the respective README files in each release for a full
