Guest Great stuff Compiz team! lookin forward to ++
Guest Huh? That's not what happened, XRender hasn't even been considered... Compiz++ was started to switch Compiz to C++ to give more control in plugins and make programming a lot easier.

You're stupid ;)
Guest I think forking compiz to compiz++ just to add a different acceleration method is a bad idea, why not add different backends for acceleration methods in just compiz? Why fork and separate a whole codebase for just adding a small detail that is the acceleration method?

Kwin does this perfectly and they don't fork it just to add a simple thing that could be an XRender backend, or another acceleration method.

Stupid idea.
klange First off, we're going for the whole "it's just Compiz" take with 0.8.0 (though we're not really done), and second, there isn't much new: just stability and all of the stuff since 0.6.* is considered "new" because 0.7.* was a development release.
Guest this is great. Are there any screenshoots of compiz-fusion 0.8.0?
Guest hmmm interesting
Guest @Guest:
The updates for ubuntu will probably be available through this repository:
https://launchpad.net/~compiz/+archive/ppa
klange Not sure, should be soon though, I think we're just cleaning things up and making sure there aren't any major bugs.

Keep in mind, this is the last release of C-Compiz, so we want to make sure we don't leave it with any major bugs.
Guest When will (what was know as -fusion) be released?
klange Jaunty will have 0.8.0 (probably does already for all I know - I don't really pay much attention, but I'm sure Jaunty's actual release of Compiz is newer than my own, I haven't switched over to Compiz++ yet)
