Enlightenment 0.16.8 (now known simply as 'E16') has been released. This new release comes with a built-in composite manager, a systray, simplified configuration files, and session scripting. E16.8 is incompatible with configuration settings and custom menu configuration files from earlier versions, and as such they will have to be changed in order to work with E16.8.

I like everyones nostalgic comments so let me add mine: 5-6 years ago (!) when I was fresh into linux I played around with almost all windowmanagers available (at that time). Before I get stuck to windowmaker (anyone remember this?) I had a long relatioship with enlightement ...
Basically I think that the times where people would be impressed by a plain window manager have passed. Users expect more sophisticated desktop environments that can do more that move the windows around or respond to a couple of keyboard shortcuts. E17 seems to go in an interesting direction. What bothers me is that even if it gets released after 10 years, it will still be the most innovative and easy to use desktop ever (I am not very optimistic about the rest).
