Preview of Beryl 0.2.0 (Lunapark6)

Lunapark6 has a lengthy preview of Beryl 0.2.0. "The Beryl project originally forked from the Compiz 3d desktop group around September of 2006. At the time I had a hard time understanding why we needed another 3d desktop project, but now that I have had a chance to watch Beryl develop, their decision makes a whole lot of sense. As nice as Compiz is, Beryl is the group that is really pushing the envelope of what a next generation desktop should be like."

What's new?

It would have been nice if the author had noted which of the described things was new compared to compiz. IIRC I've already seen nearly all of them when I tried compiz about a year ago. So not much excitement on that front. But maybe it's mainly very nice details that improved. Maybe I should give it a try to see for myself.
