Quick changelog: compiz-core: ------------ * Fixed a reparenting bug which caused some windows which provided mismatching colormaps and visuals to not be reparented (and appear to only display a small frame) * Fixed another reparenting bug which caused dock windows which shaped themselves not to have their shape applied to their parent shape * Fixed a number of memory leaks * Optimized code * Remove cube cap image options from cube (use cubeaddon) * Update gtk-window-decorator for new gtk symbols introduced in the rendering-cleanup branch * Store window shadows in X11 window properties on the root window, rather than trying to read them over gconf or dbus. Dropped the methods to read them over gconf and dbus. It is now possible to change the shadow settings using any settings backend in ccsm for any of the decorators * Fixed "inside cube" mode not working * Allow plugins to hook window minimization, unminimization * Fixed keyboard navigation not working in scale * Allow resizing from the center of the window plugins-main: ------------- * Added "MultiAnim" class to animation - allows for animations to draw multiple copies of windows * Added support for KDE 4.5's blur hint * Addded "natural" scale mode, which pushes windows apart based on their distance from each other already when overlapping * Make angles and distances in cover mode for shift more configurable * Use libxml to write the session file for the session plugin * Added fake minimization (live minimized thumbnails) to the workarounds plugin plugins-extra: -------------- * Completely rewritten group plugin, far fewer bugs. New API which makese a whole lot more sense: separate tab bar drawing into layers classes with overloadble methods, make the selection classes more powerful, use PluginStateWriter instead of in-house property-writing * Moved all image cube cap drawing into cubeaddon plugin compizconfig-backend-gconf: --------------------------- * Fixed symbol error libcompizconfig: ---------------- * Fixed incorrect linking of backends ccsm ---- * Updated icons Additional info.
