Compiz 0.7

Contradictory to my previous blog compiz 0.7 is working fine…it was just the color opacity that was crashing  my compiz, and after testing all other plugins i found out that blur plugin  is also crashing compiz.Many new plugins have also been added like login/logout (though i was not able to find out what is does), magnifier, show mouse, appearance of cube atlantis has also been improved, error notification has been added etc. I was not able to use the new multi monitor support that they claim to have added, i any one knows how to use it please help me out with it.

Still looking forward for the new stable version of compiz fusion.
