= EFL 1.11 is Out =
After three months of development work we are proud to announce the
release of version 1.11 of EFL, Elementary, Evas Generic Loaders and
Emotion Generic Players.
While we are two days behind schedule we are still proud that we are
able to deliver new releases on a 3 months cycle. Some highlights are
listed below.

= What's New =
Even if we had only three months a lot has happened during the 1.11
release cycle.
We only cover some highlights here for the full list please look at the
NEWS files
if you are interested in the details. As usual we have been working on
fixing bugs,
optimizing our code for speed and memory footprint and adding new
features.
Below we describe just some highlights and by no means provide a full
list.
== Eolian ==
Eolian has been rewritten almost from ground up. It features a new,
clean, predictive, recursive descent parser, is free of resource leaks
and has a lot of extra features, bringing us much closer to having fully
autogenerated bindings for many languages. New features include proper
support for complex types and namespaces, new type syntax and API,
struct support, builtin types, better error checking, class functions,
slightly redesigned Eo file syntax (more uniform and consistent),
support for extern types and much more. More features are already
prepared and implemented for 1.12, which will hopefully make Eolian
mostly stable.
==ETC2/TGV ==
ETC2 image decode support and etc2 texture format support
== Elua ==
Elua is a new LuaJIT based runtime (name is temporary) for rapid
application development with the EFL. It counts on Eolian to provide
bindings. It's meant to be a high performance/low footprint runtime,
competitive with C applications as far as performance is concerned.
Currently in very early stage of development.
==DDS image file loader ==
New loader for the DDS image file format.
==Coverity Issue Fixes==
For a long time now we have coverity scan runs for our project to keep
an eye on the reported issues. For this release we have Elementary down
to zero defects and also did a major scrub on the remaining ones for
EFL. We are down to 165 issues there which results in a defect density
of 0.25 which means 0.25 issues in 1000 lines of code.

==Building and Dependencies==
If you have an existing EFL or Elementary install, you may wish to
delete its header files and libraries before compiling and installing to
avoid possible conflicts during compilation. If you are compiling the
above, please compile them in the following order:
efl
elementary
emotion_generic_players
evas_generic_loaders
Please refer to the respective README files in each release for a full
list of dependencies, explanations on configure flags and other relevant
information (Just scroll down to see the README already displayed
nicely).
EFL
Elementary
Emotion Generic Players
Evas Generic Loaders
Recommended dependencies are for all of the above are:
bullet
libpng
libjpeg
gstreamer (1.x) (ensure you have all the gstreamer codecs you need/want.
Evas generic loaders still need gstreamer 0.10)
zlib
luajit (optional lua 5.1 or 5.2)
libtiff
openssl
curl
dbus
libc
fontconfig
freetype2
fribidi
libpulse
libsndfile
libx11
libxau
libxcomposite
libxdamage
libxdmcp
libxext
libxfixes
libxinerama
libxrandr
libxrender
libxss
libxtst
libxcursor
libxp
libxi (2.2 or newer)
libgl (opengl/glx or opengl-es2/egl)
giflib
util-linux (limbount + libblkid)
systemd / libudev
harfbuzz
systemd
libwebp
vlc (libvlc)
poppler
libraw
libspectre
librsvg
It is suggested you add the following options when building EFL to get a
better experience:
--enable-xinput22 \
--enable-multisense \
--enable-systemd \
--enable-image-loader-webp \
--enable-harfbuzz
On linux to get framebuffer support you may want to also do:
--enable-fb
--disable-tslib
If you want wayland support also add:
