Fedora Core 6 is released. Release editions don't get new or updated
packages, but packages do get updated when bugs are found in that
package release. This is the same across the board for all Linux
distributions. If you want a newer version of Compiz, either build the
source RPM from rawhide, or upgrade to rawhide.
Fedora doesn't get new versions? I have been using FC since v2 and for
many of the programs included, new versions have been issued via
updates, not just bug and security updates. In fact, this is one of the
reasons I enjoyed FC over other distros I have used in the past.
As for issuing new versions on compiz, perhaps releasing updated builds
may not occur because of possible side effects, such is why FF2.0 isn't
going to come down the update pipe. I would appreciate and update
though. I find compiz too CPU hungry. I hope future builds rely more
on the GPU than the CPU.
