A while ago, things looked on track to get 0.9.0 out by xmas, although the development pace has slowed a bit, and we’ve hit a few bugs we’d like to get fixed first. Although I can say that functionality-wise we are almost on-par with 0.8.*, group is half-done (tab functionality has yet to be implemented), animationaddon is half-done and dbus and stackswitch remain.
I’ll keep you posted, sorry things are taking so long, it will be here soon but don’t hold your breath since there aren’t any major user related changes and we can push back the release as long as necessary to have some kind of stability.

Yeap, that’s the bad thing about rewrites. Good thing we still have 0.8. Keep up the good job.
Yeah, it is an amazing job you guys are doing.
Couldn’t imagine a desktop without Compiz.
Thanks for the update and great job 🙂

It is so frustrating that there aren’t more developers who want to work on this amazing project. If only one had the skills 😉
Keep up the amazing work.
Yeah, maintaining 100+ plugins whenever a core change is made is very frustrating, especially when the developers that wrote those plugins are not available to help and someone else has to re-write them. Although, I don’t think more developers will magically fix the problem – a lot of issues are with the lack of documentation in the code.
More developers would be nice though 😉
yeah…doing good…much better than say the folks at amarok P-)
FOSS in general has been a bit slow this year. I wonder if its because of the recession – people are working longer hours and don’t have time to contribute anymore.
Compiz is the best, keep up the good work.
i have been using compiz ever since ubuntu 7.10. now even in my karmic can’t do without compiz. i am so glad you guys are now planning to revamp the code base to a whole new level. still you have any idea when will compiz++ be released. and also how can someone willingly contribute to the development of compiz?
w00t keep up the great work. Will compiz ever work well with kde 4? How is springdesk coming along.
ah well looking at gitweb springdesk hasn’t made any great leaps yet.
I have read so many content about the blogger lovers however
this post is genuinely a pleasant article, keep it up.
