(New Natural Scale Mode Compiz plugin)
- a new MultiAnim which allows for mutliple copies of windows in animations
- minimized live window previews (experimental) - a feature many have been waiting for to use in DockBarX (among others)
- natural scale mode which pushes windows apart based on their distance from each other already when overlapping
- re-written group plugin
- simplified shadow storage in the decorations
- support for KDE 4.5's blur hint
- Allow resizing from the center of the window
Here is a video featuring the new minimized windows (using "fake" minimization) live previews in Compiz 0.9.2:
