Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce that we have a silo ready for testing QtCompositor!
We'd really appreciate as many people testing it as possible. To do so, follow the steps in this wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8/QtComp This is a significant change so please give it a go and if you spot any regressions, please report them (instructions in the wiki). Thanks! -Gerry On 30/06/14 16:03, Kevin Gunn wrote: > Hi all, > First, thanks for reading & please consider participating in this testing. > We've had the experience recently of having lower than desired > participation in significant changes (split greeter anyone? :).
