E17 heading towards a Stable Release No Really!

E17 heading towards a Stable Release No Really!

Ive been pushing the Enlightenment desktop for some time now and for as long as Ive been promoting it Ive also been warning folks that it is under heavy development. Well folks - Duke Nukeem Forever might have beat them to a release, but E team is prepping for a major (stable!) release themselves.

The E release manager has setup a wordpress you can find here to follow more specific details about the upcoming release. What can you do to help out with getting E17 on the road to release as a end user? Why filing bug reports of course! One thing worth noting is that if you are filing bug reports you should be keeping as close the latest SVN version as possible.

Finally - if it has been awhile since youve tried the Enlightenment desktop now is the perfect time! If you arent inclined to be compiling software from source Bodhi Linux provides one of the best default implementations of E17 around. Arch Linux and Gentoo also provide fairly current builds of E17 in their community supported repositories.

2012 - the year of an E17 Release!
