Compiz 0.8 these days is "Compiz Reloaded" that tries to maintain the original Compiz.
Compiz 0.9 is a rewritten project that diverged already in 2010-2012 and was used by Ubuntu as part of the default desktop until 2017. It is is maintained by a different community who try to continue where Canonical stopped with Compiz & Unity 7 (and Qt & Unity 8) in 2017.
The 0.8.16.1 is the latest release of Compiz Reloaded which is what openSUSE's maintainers have stuck with in the past, it was released around a year ago an there is more recent changes in there github repo's.
I can't really see a compelling reason to switch to 0.9 given that the desktops we ship where compiz still works are mainly xfce and mate, Atleast as of a week ago although it didn't build the last successfully built binaries in the repo still work fine.
I would also prefer we stick to the version that we know works with our packaged Xfce and Mate. -- Maurizio Galli (MauG) openSUSE Xfce Team https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Xfce -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
