Some good news for all the fans of e17

From Tex's Twitter Post here

"Got an email from Enlightenment E17 saying new updates take E-17 from alpha to beta stage so will snatch the latest and build soon."

Several core EFL libraries have now been released as beta. There may be some minor bugs, but most if not all are gone. We invite input, especially on bugs, and any patches you may have to fix them. You can get the beta releases of Eina, Eet, Evas, Ecore, Embryo, Edje, Efreet, E_Dbus and Eeze here (Note: I tested this link and at present the folder doesn't yet have any apps in it)

There are also snapshots of Elementary and Enlightenment available from here. They are not considered stable at this time, but do work. They go together with the beta release above.

You can also get the above libraries in their beta (and snapshot) state if you check out SVN revision 52995. Versions released/snapshotted are as below:

    * Eina - 1.0.0 BETA
    * Eet - 1.4.0 BETA
    * Evas - 1.0.0 BETA
    * Ecore - 1.0.0 BETA
    * Embryo - 1.0.0 BETA
    * Edje - 1.0.0 BETA
    * E_Dbus - 1.0.0 BETA
    * Efreet - 1.0.0 BETA
    * Eeze - 1.0.0 BETA
    * Elementary - SNAPSHOT
    * Enlightenment - SNAPSHOT

Definitely a fan of E-17, can't wait! KDE4 is just not shaping up the way I had hoped. I may be heading the KDE -> E-17 route when E-17 is ready for or near release.
Great news.

Anyway, I think,  repeat I think , with the Beta version, the themes which I have done have a important bug in "Settings Panel" I thing  .

Thanks Tex!!!

Agust, seems like your making themes for nothing, never seen e17 development go so fast.
Better stick to one or 2 themes per distro until things have gone quiet.

Yes, they said we need to fix our theme package.  I switched to the default theme and the settings panel works properly.

Arrrggggg!!!!! , the bug is fixed (Thanks Cedric) , changing the lines marked with the asterisk.(rel1.relative:0.5 1.0 and delete rel2.offset: 0 -5)
But there is no problem, where I can send a theme that I think works well?
If this theme works well, would do the update of some themes.

r52006        r52301      
22324   22324                  align: 0.5 1.0;
22325   22325                  fixed: 1 1;
22326                      aspect: 1.0 1.0;
22327                      aspect_preference: HORIZONTAL;
22328                      rel1.relative: 0.5 0.0; ********
    22326                  rel1.relative: 0.5 1.0;
22329   22327          rel2.relative: 0.5 1.0;
22330                      rel2.offset: 0  -5;        ********
