“Sam Spilsbury, developer of Compiz, announced the release of
Compiz 0.9.0 on Compiz mailing list. This is the first major
release since the merger of Compiz, Compiz++, NOMAD and Compiz
Fusion and also the first major release since being completely
rewritten in C++. Besides moving from C to C++, this release brings
a new developer API, and splits the rendering framework into
plugins.

“By splitting the rendering framework into composite and opengl
plugins, Compiz can be used as the known compositing window manager
or as a backend for other 3D desktop programs such XRender or
Clutter.”
