As you might have guessed already, Enlightenment 0.21.2 is the second point release in the stable 0.21 series of the graphical desktop environment used in various GNU/Linux distributions, and it promises to address more than 30 reported issues, but also to add various much-needed improvements to keep it stable and reliable. All the details about the new changes are available for your reading pleasure at the end of the article. Probably the most important change in the Enlightenment 0.21.2 release is the fact that it is now possible to build it with support for the next-generation Wayland display server against the newly released Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL) version 1.18.0, which brought lots of enhancements and new features, such as JavaScript eolian bindings or a new library for input handling based on libinput.
