Complete rewrite of enkei.

Many aspects of the application have changed, it should behave better in general now, but some bugs can occur. If you encounter some problems check the logs of enkei (written to stdout), a small report will be given in these cases you can use it to report problems. Some information of your setup are included, if you prefer remove them before posting.

Main Changes:

  • Remove gtk
  • Use plain wayland and OpenGL for rendering of images and transitions
  • Fix bug which occurred when all displays were disconnected (gtk related)
  • Fix bug which occurred when dragging windows to empty outputs (gtk related; see #1)
  • Animations are much smoother now due to different rendering
  • CPU usage reduced due to reduction of required buffer copying
  • Reduced memory footprint; a more conservative caching policy has been added
  • Better resource loading with shared caching between outputs

The version number has been increased to 0.9.0 to reflect this break with the old implementation and bringing it closer to some stable version 1.0.
