Enlightenment 0.27.1 has been released, marking the latest stable update for this lightweight, modern, and modular desktop environment designed for GNU/Linux distributions. This release focuses on various improvements and fixes, including enhancements to the CPUFreq and Battery modules.
One of the key features of Enlightenment 0.27.1 is the ability to limit battery charging to 100%, preventing overcharging. Additionally, users can now utilize the mouse wheel on the audio Mixer module, making audio adjustments more intuitive. The client menu has also been updated to avoid displaying the "Create Keyboard Shortcut" option when no desktop file is associated with a client.
The Enlightenment file manager (EFM) has seen improvements as well, notably fixing issues that caused file monitoring to shut down when a file or directory is closed. Furthermore, logging has been enhanced for signal handlers, addressing a memory access problem within the system tray/D-Bus menu, and improving the CPUFreq module’s startup conditions.
This release also tackles several bugs related to the bindings and message bus. Users looking for further details can refer to the release announcement page. Enlightenment 0.27.1 requires EFL 1.28.0 or newer, similar to what was needed for the previous release, Enlightenment 0.27.0.
Enlightenment 0.27 debuted in January 2025, introducing new features such as a Convertible module for mobile devices, Wayland session support in GDM (GNOME Display Manager), and a revamped Battery module, along with font scaling options and a CPUFreq module.
Users can download this latest release from the official website, where installation instructions tailored for various GNU/Linux distributions are available. The desktop environment can also be installed from the stable software repositories of most Linux distributions.
