After Xgl, Novell now also released Compiz, their OpenGL compositing manager. From the readme file: "Compiz is an OpenGL compositing manager that use GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap for binding redirected top-level windows to texture objects. It has a flexible plug-in system and it is designed to run well on most graphics hardware."

This was the biggest release all year for me. The recent XGL codedump was awesome but this new release gets rid of Metacity (love to do that) and boring Xserverness all in one jump.
Anyone that has not seen XGL composite managing at work....its addictive. Its like the desktop comes alive in a way pictures not video can describe!
