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

= Building and Dependencies =<br>
<br>
If you have an existing EFL or Elementary install, you may wish to delete its<br>
header files and libraries before compiling and installing to avoid possible<br>
conflicts during compilation. If you are compiling the above, please compile<br>
them in the following order:<br>
<br>
# efl<br>
# elementary<br>
# emotion_generic_players<br>
# evas_generic_loaders<br>
<br>
Please refer to the respective README files in each release for a full list of<br>
dependencies, explanations on configure flags and other relevant information<br>
(Just scroll down to see the README already displayed nicely).<br>

It is suggested you add the following options when building EFL to get a better<br>
experience:<br>
<br>
--enable-xinput22 \<br>
--enable-multisense \<br>
--enable-systemd \<br>
--enable-image-loader-webp \<br>
--enable-harfbuzz<br>
<br>
On linux to get framebuffer support you may want to also do:<br>
<br>
--enable-fb<br>
--disable-tslib<br>
<br>
If you want wayland support also add:<br>
<br>
--enable-wayland<br>
<br>
At runtime if you want thumbnailing for DOC/PPT/XLS etc. files also provide:<br>
<br>
* libreoffice<br>
