One week after Enlightenment's E19 RC3 release, there's more improvements that have landed that will warrant another new release in the very near future.

Posted to the E19 release manager blog is The Septembering -- going over the latest changes so far this September. There's Covery-detected issues fixed, system tray improvements, and more Wayland improvements. The latest Wayland work includes pointer fixes and improved resolution detection.

E19 features the rewritten Wayland compositor that's working out great natively on Wayland without depending upon X11 or Weston for that matter. The E19 release is due out soon with a ton of notable changes.
