Ubuntu Dapper news

Xgl and compiz packages are available in universe for Dapper. "As noted before, these are highly experimental packages. If it crashes, this is unsurprising. Please do feel free to file bugs, but right now they'll probably just be forwarded upstream. Please do not be surprised if it doesn't work. If you're running binary drivers, things get even more complicated and there's a reasonable chance that things will fail to work in strange and unexpected ways."

Ben Collins has issued a call for testing of the current Dapper kernel. "The main point of this testing (for me at least) is to catch regressions from breezy. It is far more important for us to make sure we don't lose users because of a non-upgrade issue, than to fix a long standing superficial quirk."

Meanwhile, the feature freeze for Dapper has been announced. "The feature freeze for Dapper begins this Thursday, February 23rd. This means that feature goal development be substantially complete. Features which are behind schedule may be granted exceptions (for priority goals with a clear roadmap to completion) or deferred to the next release."
