Ubuntu Feisty ufficialmente senza Compiz/Beryl

Come scritto oggi sulla Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, purtroppo la prossima release di Ubuntu (schedulata per Aprile 2007) non supporterà ufficialmente nè Beryl nè Compiz in quanto ritenuti troppo immaturi. I driver proprietari saranno ugualmente distribuiti ma non attivati automaticamente in Ubuntu.

=== Feisty will not include Beryl or Compiz ===
According to Matt Zimmerman, “Ubuntu 7.04 will preserve the status quo
with respect to proprietary video drivers. As in previous releases,
these drivers will be provided for the convenience of users who choose
to use them, but they will not be activated by default.” This decision
was made at a Technical Board meeting which decided Compiz and Beryl
were not stable enough to be shipped. Once again, the discussion on
the mailing list says “However, some of the relevant software
necessary to implement this proposal is not yet considered mature
enough to deploy in the default Ubuntu configuration.” Therefore,
composite will not enabled by default in Feisty but the Technical
Board has made in clear that they believe this technology will be
implemented in the near future.

Nel frattempo è disponibile per il test Feisty Fawn Herd5
