Summary: Hello and thanks for reading! We’ve made some exiting progress this week in bugs, features and the website. Just to get this out of the way, it is now safe to upgrade Compiz Fusion as we have fixed most plugins against the new action system and we have also fixed (and done some major changes) to the action handling in LibCompizConfig and CompizConfig Settings Manager. Hope you enjoy this entry!
News in bugs:
- Fixed most plugins against the new action system. One popular one that hasn’t been fixed yet is the Screensaver plugin by Nicholas Viennot. I have provided a patch on the forum to fix this.
- Fix group-tab crashes when you drag from one group to another
- ‘Widget’ option removed from Window Rules as it’s now provided by widget
- You can use return, backspace and escape to cancel a keybinding being set in CCSM
- ‘All’ category added to CCSM
- LibCompizConfig and CCSM adapted to use new action system, you should now be able to configure your actions again.
News in Feautres:
Well, a lot more happened in features this week. Notable points being the CCSM action re-haul, which is now a lot more user friendly.
CCSM Re-Haul
Well, the CompizConfig Settings Manager action configuration has now been re-hauled. Now, instead of one actions page which has the settings for all key, button, bell and edge bindings, we now have actions placed appropriately in groups, where existing options may already be, where is makes sense. Some screenshots are below.
