More than four months in the works, the Enlightenment 0.24.0 release is finally here and brings lots of goodies. Major features include a new and improved shot module that includes editor and cropper, the ability to control external monitor backlight and brightness, as well as new and improved crash handling guru meditation. Furthermore, the resolution of thumbnails displayed in the EFM file manager has been bumped to 256×256, which is now the default, the number of setuid tools was reduced by merging many of them into a single system tool, and the Bluetooth daemon was upgraded to Bluez5.
