title: Evas Rocks My World
---

I guess Jeff has been browsing Pablotron too much lately -- he 
directed me towards a spelling error and broken link on the
<a href="/cam/">Cam page</a>. Thanks dude.
<br /><br />

As for <a href="/projects/">EWL</a>, I've been making misc
changes here and there.  I just posted a fresh snapshot of the
EWL CVS tree.  You can download it
<a href="/projects/ewl/ewl-latest.tar.gz">here</a>, or read
the ChangeLog <a href="/projects/ewl/ChangeLog">here</a>.  Due to
the problems I've had with the rendering system, I've decided to
migrate the rendering system to Evas,
<a href="http://www.rasterman.com/">raster's</a> new ubercool 
canvas library.  In addition to removing the rendering concern
(and making it faster than I ever could have), this also adds
basic GL rendering support to EWL (read: much faster).  I'm getting
up to speed with Evas by writing few test applications, but I 
plan on making the transition this weekend.
<br /><br />

Finally, I encourage anyone who hasn't done so to check out
<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/geist.html">Geist</a>, 
Tom Gilbert's new image layout program.  I've contributed a
few small snippets of code, but him and tillsan have done most
of the work.  I'm pretty impressed.
