Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

The latest version of compiz and compiz-fusion is 0.7.8 and got released on Sep 23 (http://lists.compiz-fusion.org/pipermail/dev/2008-September/001045.html). We currently carry a ~6 weeks old git snapshot.

The new version is available in the intrepid compiz PPA at:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/compiz/ubuntu intrepid main

I got positive reports from various testers and run it successfully on my system. I will attach the diffstats and can provide full changelogs if needed.

FFe granted, please upload ASAP.

Are upstream changelogs available, so I can see exactly what it is I just agreed to? :-P

Compiz
Release 0.7.8 (2008-09-17 Danny Baumann <email address hidden>)
==============================================================
Development release.

New plugin "obs" that handles opacity, brightness and saturation bindings
and matches.

Put unresponsive window greyout, including options to configure it, to
fade plugin.

Add "constant fade time" fade mode to fade plugin.

Removed opacity bindings and matches from core. Users that entered opacity
matches should enable the obs plugin and enter the matches there.

Enhanced timer infrastructure to allow synchronization of execution of
multiple timer callbacks.

Added matching for window's alpha channel (match type rgba=[0|1]).

Reflect new Metacity "spacer" button type in gtk-window-decorator.

Various bugfixes.

Translation updates.

The plugins and libcompizconfig do not have a NEWS file unfortunately (just the git generated Changelog)
