It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s Release Day! Today’s release is OMEGA 12, also known as the E17 release candidate. It contains a number of bug fixes, and I highly recommend it.

In addition, I have a special treat for all the readers out there. For the first time ever, an external module for E17 has been released! Yes, friends, it’s true. Today marks the first release (v1) of Echievements: achievements for E17. That’s right, it’s something completely useless aside from testing the recently released Etrophy library. It does track and notify you of your achievements in real-time, however, which I think is pretty neat.

Ticket #2003: E_Config bug [invalid profile creation – user]

Sometimes, using a GUI is too difficult. In these cases, you either know what you’re doing or you get the abort().

Ticket #2009: everything stays unclosable

Possibly the most infuriating bug ever filed.

Ticket #2014: refresh button in efm does not function

Now it does.

Ticket #2013: Spanish translation

Those of you who lean en Español will see that their main menus are substantially less gordo when the shot module is loaded. That’s right, hablo un poquito Español tambien, perro no estoy mucho bueno.

Ticket #2006: Scale settings doesnt close after OK

Now it does.

Ticket #2005: Either pager or shelf temporary coruption

Shelf config is now more pedantic about hiding the shelf and unpopulating the swallowed gadcon when config changes.

Ticket #2023: Always selected Inset layout on shelves

Hah.

Ticket #2025: Pressed F5 in EFL, Crash

Another one bites the dust.

Ticket #2026: EFM Crash on Display settings change.

Getting tired of these…

Ticket #2022: EFM favorites doesn’t display on pathbar all the folder path

Probably a remnant of the last time I was fixing the toolbar code.

Ticket #2024: EFM cannot distinguish between files and directories with the same name

No longer can a man rename his files into other directories. A sad day for us all.

Ticket #2030: EFM Toolbar Settings

Toolbar position now saved based on last window closed.

Other Improvements Today:

Notifications are now slightly more attention-grabbing when compositing is enabled

Locales without a region component are now correctly detected and applied

.desktop files pointing to directories are now navigable by EFM main view (not sidebar)

Navigate menu no longer has failure-prone “show files” option
