X.Org Development Discussion Continues

,----[ Quote ]
| In late September there was a call by Peter 
| Hutterer for a new X.Org release process 
| that consisted of a six-month release cycle 
| for the X Server, all development work to be 
| done in feature branches and not Git master, 
| and a three-stage development cycle. The 
| agreed upon version was pretty much the same 
| as Peter's version, but it also called for 
| the X.Org drivers to be pulled back into the 
| X Server (around version 1.10).

Debunking the âcompiz is so bloatedâ myth

,----[ Quote ]
| A recent trend Iâve noticed is this myth 
| that compiz is bloated.
| 
| My argument here is that compiz is not 
| bloated but rather it is modular.

| Metacity with no compositing comes in at 
| about 2.6 MB. Itâs lightweight but it does 
| not need to deal with having a plugin system 
| loaded in. Stepping things up a bit, letâs 
| turn on compositing.

| compiz. And the thing that I am really impressed after read the glxgears, I
| am getting constantly rate whooping up to 1200+ fps compare to the previous

Compiz 0.9.x - Where are we now, and where to from here

,----[ Quote ]
| Anyways, this post is about Compiz 0.9.x (formerly âcompiz++â). Compiz 0.9.x
| started in december when onestone announced his core rewrite on the mailing
| list. It had features like pluggable output backends, written in c++ (and a
| few nice interfaces that came with it) and other misc bits and pieces. It was
| designed mostly in mind to overcome a lot of the design problems we were
| having, like plugin-plugins and a ridiculous amound of code to manage lists.
| In Janurary, some developers started to toy around with it and at the
| beginning of this February, we announced that compiz++ would become the base
| for the 0.9.x series and the 0.9.x series would features some major reworks.
| Weâve all been quite busy during that time - so weâve done whatever possible
| to push the branch forwards.
