This version doesn't include Exalt anymore (network configurator). You have a new application available in Elpanel (not in the desktop gadget yet). It is in a early development stage but you are more than welcome to report any bug (or request feature) on http://bugs.elivecd.org. If you prefer you can still install Exalt or Wicd at your choice.

The Thunar file manager received a few improvements as well – for instance, admin mode was implemented, and will allow you to run Thunar with root privileges. Moreover, you can now resize images in batch mode, and create symbolic links for a file or folder.

Elive 1.9.10 offers you the possibility to export all kinds of documents in the PDF format, and also to easily configure wireless and wired connections with the help of a new tool called net-connector. Last but not least, the Ibar was replaced by Itask-ng, a new dock that has Mac OS X-like zooming functions.

The Elive Linux distribution sports a large number of applications, ranging from office applications to games. You can watch movies and, even better, you can create your own. E16 is the stable edition of the Enlightenment window manager that comes with Elive. Besides this, E17, the development version of Enlightenment, is brought to you from CVS, and is updated on a regular basis through Elive's testing repository. If you want to use Elive, it is recommended you use a computer with minimum 128 of RAM and a 300 MHz CPU.
  1. Bar: Ibar is replaced by Itask-ng. Now elive has a zooming bar similar to the one of MacOsX like on the oldests versions of Elive in E16. It also has a very good feature enabled by default: 'lock icons' which prevents the user from removing accidentaly the icons.
  2. Vim: Color Scheme Hacks, the default color theme of Elive has been hacked for a better development/coding. Reading the code has been greatly improved, an example is available on this screenshot.
  3. PDF Printer: Is now possible to directly create PDF's from a page, document, or anything just by selecting to print in a PDF file in the printer menu.
  4. Networks: This version includes a new application called net-connector for configuring wifi and wired connections. This very nice application is developed by LinuxNIT and it can be started from Elpanel.
  5. Thunar features: New and very useful features are added in Thunar:
    • Admin mode: This feature runs a thunar with admin privileges, in this way is possible to access and/or modify any file of the system. This is implemented for users that doesn't know 'how to edit a configuration in /etc' for example.
    • Resize: This feature allows the user to resize images. Imagine a selection of 1000 photos which need to be resized, by selecting this option all of them will be resized in a subdirectory.
    • Create links: This feature simply creates a symbolic link of a file or a directory.
    • Suggeriments: Do you have a very good feature to include in the File-Manager? Your idea is welcome! Just fill in a request feature in the BTS of Elive.
  6. Installer:
    • Reboot: Now reboot is not needed anymore after repartitioning the hard disk.
    • Partitions listing: Better listing of partitions with correct removing from the list of the previous selected ones.
    • Fake partitions: No fake partitions for the installed system anymore (that happened when the user had removed a partition during the installation process without rebooting).
    • Partition info: Now the size of the partitions is also shown in the list.
