Beryl 0.2.0 is a complete overhaul of Beryl. The last stable release 0.1, featured a very fun, and eye-candy based compositing window manager. However, since it’s release, many parts of beryl have been rewritten, replaced, or simply dropped. The Beryl team has put in numerous hours to bring you this release. It’s filled with fun, eye-candy, better user support, new features, and most of all, stability. While Beryl has had numerous developer releases, known by their 0.1.X versions, 0.2.0 has been throughly tested by many more users. As Beryl has become more well known, our userbase has expanded exponentially. Because of this, we’ve had more bug reports than ever. So thank you to all of you who have helped us on this path. And thank you to all of those who have made Beryl possible. During the last year, Beryl has gone through a number of incidents. Users have argued about Beryl and Compiz for a long time now. With this release, Beryl has taken a giant step apart from Compiz. While some things are similar, which is inevitable in a fork, many things are not. We at Beryl believe that starting with the 0.3 development phase, many more things will be come clearer in regards to Beryl. We are setting our focus on organization, improving user relations, making the software more bug free, and overall more fun for you! So without further ado, I give you Beryl 0.2.0! * New Plugins - Thumbnail: Thumbnails on the taskbar (window list) which show a mini view of the actual window - Snap: Allows windows to “snap” to each other, or provide edge resistance - Opacify: Makes windows behind the active window transparent - Group: Allows windows to be group, to easily switch between a set of windows * New system requirements check - The improved check has much better accuracy - The check is a lot faster * New Window Decorators - Since 0.1, we have two new window decorators - Heliodor: Uses metacity themes - Aquamarine: Uses Kwin themes. * Newly Rewritten Beryl-Settings - Written in Python - More user-friendly UI - Better profile support * New Translations - Thanks to all of our foreign speaking users, we’ve had a much better time getting translations in, and completed. So thank you! All this and much, much more! So please enjoy, - The Beryl Team Reproducible: Always

Francis, you do realize all the 0.2.0 ebuilds are ready to go.. Tsunam gets them from me (xeffects), reviews them, and commits (with any modifications needed such as removing xeffect's postinst, and vidcap stuff). Also guys be patient. Tsunam has to test all the ebuilds himself (it's passed my testing) because he's responsible for it being in the tree. And he has a life (unlike myself). It'll be in next week according to when I talked to him earlier in the week.

Then you're a bit late. The ebuilds were in xeffects the second beryl 0.2.0 was released to the public. I'd know because A) I wrote them B) I commited them to xeffects C) I am part of the beryl release team who was responsible for the release. I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything, and if I am, sorry. But the fact is all you really did was a version bump. You're missing several important factors. One of which is you have no xgl support in your beryl-core ebuild.

Will get it in the tree this weekend, been a long week at work so =/. I'm not ignoring it, just haven't really been a good week.
beryl-plugins now includes beryl-dbus by default. The beryl-plugins ebuild should block beryl-dbus.
beryl-0.2.1 was released early this morning or late last night (depending on where you are). The only difference is fixing some licensing issues so that it could be included in Ubuntu/Debian. The ebuilds posted here for 0.2.0 should work well replacing 0.2.0 with 0.2.1
should be in the tree in the next few hours....
It is in the portage, but I found one typo in the ebuild. It used to be 'noemerald' use flag and it has been changed to just 'emerald'. However, you forgot also change the negative conditions bellow: - !emerald? ( ~x11-wm/emerald-${PV} ) + !emerald? ( ~x11-wm/emerald-${PV} ) Please fix it. For now, you _must_ specify 'emerald' flag in order _not_ to make it installed. Thank you.
