Title: Enlightenment E19 released with full Wayland support

The Enlightenment team announced this week[1] that the 19th version of their
popular-but not popular enough- desktop environment has been released.
Enlightenment DR 0.19 brings a number of useful improvements, refinements, or
fixes, including a new profile for tiling workspace windows, better video
previews, the return of the E16-style live pager, a new compositor API,
non-recursive make files for building the system, and improvements to the file
manager, system action menus, better performance on multiple monitors, support
for high DPI monitors, and better rendering of shaped (non-rectangular)
windows. It also has full support for Wayland[2] including its own, rewritten
Wayland compositor.The Enlightenment project has always marched to the beat of
a different drum. So their disclaimer: "Enlightenment developers cannot be
responsible for any successes which occur during testing of E19" seems like
they're still having a lot of fun.If you're interested in seeing what E19 is
capable of, Bodhi has a good intro to Enlightenment E17[3] on their site, but
this Youtube video of E17[4] is also a good place to start.
