So we're really really really close to a release now, and to finish ironing out the last few bugs, I need people to start testing compiz master. So feel free to!
Specifically, what needs testing:
[*] Does everything build / load as expected (Did you have to set any weird paths to make it work etc)
[*] Is it "relatively" stable?
[*] Any regressions (other than non-official plugins and parts of dbus)
[*] Disable the composite and opengl plugins and run kde4-window-decorator and gtk-window-decorator: do they work?
A quick "how to compile" guide (assumes you are compiling into a non-standard prefix such as /opt [Highly recommended if you want to keep your old compiz install])
A quick word if you are installing the two side by side
You no longer need to disable blur
0.8 and 0.9 plugins installed in the same directory don't place nice, so if you have files in ~/.compiz/metadata or ~/.compiz/plugins, remove them
New dependencies:
You will need cmake, cython and libboost-dev. Otherwise dependencies are the same as 0.8
