Enlightenment 0.22 is now available in alpha form with a variety of improvements, including continued progress on Wayland.

The Enlightenment X window manager / Wayland compositor has continued getting better particularly over the last few years and the upcoming E22 release will be no different. The Enlightenment 0.22 Alpha that's out today has "greatly improved" Wayland support as one of the leading features, which has continued to get better since E20.

Enlightenment 0.22 has also been working on a better gadget infrastructure, a sudo/ssh utility GUI, Meson build system support, tiling policy improvements, and integrated per-window volume controls.

Today's Enlightenment development release is available for download from Enlightenment.org.
