The Code for Two New Compiz Animations [with Video]
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, here it is, the code for “Helix” and for “Blinds”. Right now, neither
| of these are in the Compiz Git repositories, so you’ll need to compile the
| code yourself by replacing the entire plugins-main/src/animation directory
| with the code you got from the link in the first sentence and compiling
| normally.

[FusionComm] Compiz Fusion 0.7.2 released!
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm pleased to announce the release of Compiz Fusion 0.7.2.
|
| This is the first development release of Compiz Fusion 0.7 series, which will
| be the basis for the stable 0.8.0 release. This release is based on Compiz
| 0.7.2
| and requires some features that weren't in Compiz 0.7.0.
|
| Please note that we decided to skip 0.7.0 to keep in sync with Compiz version
| numbers to reduce confusion as much as possible.

,----[ Quote ]
| The Simple Compiz Config Settings Manager, or simple-ccsm as it's called, is
| focused for simplicity and looks dramatically different from the main
| settings manager. We have screenshots and comments on the simple-ccsm in this
| article.
