We switched to Subversion as repository management tool giving us what we missed in cvs and most important, less nagging of sourceforge staff for repository fixes and cleanups. All cvs history is preserved so if you need something done before, feel free to look at it.

Details about usage, browsing, etc. can be found at http://ede.sourceforge.net/page/download page.

As you can see, file releases, especially for efltk, is little bit organized. I've put unstabile (under this i mean not-sure-can-be-compiled or not tested) packages under "obsolete" branch, and old 2.0 version is clearly visible.

As you can guess, this is preparation for new bugfixed efltk version. New things will not be added, only fixes for new Ede release. Cvs will be constantly updated, so if you want to be one of those bug hunters, sync with it, and place founed things-that-should-not-be-there somewhere on forum or on bug tracking system (i prefer second solution).... read more

Here is patch that will correct russian strings, and fix proper Attraction screensaver showing. Thanks Michael Zaripov for russian correction and Marchello Magaldi for screensaver note. I propose for update, especialy russian users.

Newest version of Equinox Desktop Environment is available for download. Fixed many things and fixed compilation scripts. Download it, test it, and send comments.

This is fresh version from CVS. Not too much update, except for proper EDE working. Proceed to efltk section, and find package with latest date. There is source and binary version (builted on SuSE 8.1) in various formats - except for Solaris :(. Note that only with this version EDE can be built.

Well it has been long period since last EDE release. However, our diligent developer Sanel Zukan worked on EDE and we now have new beta version. EDE team shared my opinion that Sanel should have administrator status for EDE project because currently (since we are more busy with RTK project) he is the only developer who works on EDE. Thanks Sanel, and we hope we'll jump into EDE ASAP.

Dear OpenSource community,
i am pleased to announce recent joining of Sanel Z., our new developer from Bosnia and Herzegowina. He would be (like as all of us, mostly) "all hands person".
EDE team wishes Sanel warm welcome! :)

Hi to all! :) I just want to inform everybody that Mr. Till Kamppeter has been removed from EDE project, because he hasn't contributed anything to it. We wish Till all the best!

Dear opensource community, i am pleased to announce new project member - Goran Rakic. He will mostly work together with Dejan on official EDE website (http://ede.sf.net), and depending on Goran's will, on ede.ho.com and www.fltk.net as well. Our "supposed to be" web developer, Bambang Purnomosidi D. P., will be removed from our project due to long period of inactivity (few months). He, Bombang, is very busy unfortunately, and can't work on EDE project anymore. EDE team would like to give him best regards!

We have one bad and one good news for You dear OpenSource community.
bad) Unfortunately, due to hard-disk failure site http://ede.ho.com will be down for a while. :(
good) We have new web developer that will work with us on http://ede.sf.net . Expect great changes in next few weeks! :)

We are pleased to announce new developer, Szasz Pal, student from Romania. Szasz will work mostly on UTF-8 support (at the begining, who knows what would be next ;). EDE team would like to express warm welcome to him! - Welcome Szasz!

Dear OpenSource community,
I am pleased to announce new EDE and eFLTK RPMs. These RPMs are hopefully end to problem with hardcoded PREFIX in EDE, which caused problems with EDE menu and some desktop icons... PLEASE report problems if you find them! :)

Dear OpenSource community, i am pleased to announce new version of CHN eFLTK reference documentation. Now all XML-related classes are commented and by help of Doxygen (www.doxygen.org) we have very good reference doc. I would like to note that this CHM would be probably good not just for developers that use eFLTK in their projects, but also to developers that use FLTK (www.fltk.org).

Dear OpenSource community, i am pleased to announce new SlackWare packages in our download section of SourceForge EDE site... Please report any bug/problem you encounter with these packages. Best regards. Dejan Lekic, EDE team member.
