Compiz 0.7 was released back in February and since then we've seen a series of minor updates. Now though we may have Compiz 0.8 to look forward to in the near future. Kristian Lyngstol has announced on the Compiz mailing list that version 0.8 of Compiz has been branched...

I wonder if Compiz Fusion a project like MPlayer that will never reach 1.0?

I have the feeling that there can be made updates to Compiz forever because cooler and cooler things occur

Will this branch have the startup speed ups they have planned? google packet buffers (I don't remember the exact name)?

I really hope this is a true attempt at removing all the bugs. It's the only thing that has bothered me about CF since I started using it two years ago.

protocol buffers
libcompizconfig already has support for it.
Lets hope that gets into 0.8.x, I doubt compiz will get it though...
