That's called a wife.

No, a wife fails the "bug-free bliss" part

After this long, it better be bug-free bliss that obeys voice and movement controls without using cameras, mics or other extra hardware, while also making you a sandwich and giving a massage.

On topic ill probably ditch gnome once this is released.

Samsung back them up, no?

Currently, as part of Tizen, Samsung and Intel support EFL. Intel has done Wayland porting work IIRC. However: Don't count on support lasting forever. Intel's Moblin and MeeGo support also died young.

You have the weirdest version numbering scheme in the world. Normal people regard an 1.0 release as ?no longer pre-release and about to get stable?.

It's the same idea as TeX.
TeX releases get closer and closer to π - and when Knuth dies, the version will be set to exactly π, with all remaining bugs documented and relabeled as features. It's currently at 3.1415926 .

Humm, I do hope so. I tried very recently and everything but the main package would compile. Humph, so no E17 for me yet. :/

Sounds a bit strange - I haven't encountered anything like that in a long time, and I normally do a complete rebuild every couple of weeks. That's just minimal E17 requirements though - no "extras" such as terminology.

A few days old now, but E17 apparently has a release date. Actual date not specified, but is "less than 6 months away". Hope they manage that target.

...Hopefully one day a large corporation backs you up and offers support for your future endeavors.

Samsung back them up, no?

It's not exactly unheard of it.
