Beryl 0.2.0 is a complete overhaul of Beryl. The last stable release
0.1, featured a very fun, and eye-candy based compositing window
manager. However, since it's release, many parts of beryl have been
rewritten, replaced, or simply dropped. The Beryl team has put in
numerous hours to bring you this release. It's filled with fun,
eye-candy, better user support, new features, and most of all,
stability. While Beryl has had numerous developer releases, known by
their 0.1.X versions, 0.2.0 has been throughly tested by many more
users.

As Beryl has become more well known, our userbase has expanded
exponentially. Because of this, we've had more bug reports than ever. So
thank you to all of you who have helped us on this path. And thank you
to all of those who have made Beryl possible.

During the last year, Beryl has gone through a number of incidents.
Users have argued about Beryl and Compiz for a long time now. With this
release, Beryl has taken a giant step apart from Compiz. While some
things are similar, which is inevitable in a fork, many things are not.
We at Beryl believe that starting with the 0.3 development phase, many
more things will be come clearer in regards to Beryl. We are setting our
focus on organization, improving user relations, making the software
more bug free, and overall more fun for you!

So without further ado, I give you Beryl 0.2.0!
