+1) Slackware still ships the old 0.8.8 release of compiz that was
+ released back in 2011. The project has recently been picked up
+ and is being actively maintained by the compiz-reloaded team.
+ You can still use the 0.8.8 version of the compiz that ships
+ with Slackware with the companion packages since there has not been
+ any ABI changes to the code. But there is a good chance you will run
+ into stabilty issues if you do, so it is HIGHLY recommended you use
+ the version of compiz that matches the companion packages. Because
+ you will be replacing a stock Slackware package the SlackBuild is
+ not hosted at www.slackbuilds.org. You can download the SlackBuild
+ from the link below.
+
+ https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85079539/compiz-0.8.12.3-SlackBuild.tar.gz
+
+ This SlackBuild is based off the 14.2 stock Slackware SlackBuild so you
+ shouldn't run into any problems. If you do use this version of compiz you
+ will need to blacklist compiz in your /etc/slackpkg/blacklist file to keep
+ slackpkg from reverting the package back to 0.8.8
+
+2) Compiz now has basic support for the MATE desktop. You will have to install
+ MATE before you install compiz for support. The MATE slackware project
+ website is located here https://mateslackbuilds.github.io/
+
+3) The compizconfig-backend-kconfig4 package has been removed from the
+ project so if you are upgrading from a previous version you will want
+ to remove this package. Also compiz-plugins-unsupported has now been
+ renamed to compiz-plugins-experimental so you will need to remove
+ compiz-plugins-unsupported before you upgrade to the newest packages.
+
+4) The install order has compiz listed twice. libcompizconfig depends
+ on compiz, but compiz has some extra window decorator related features
+ that depend on libcompizconfig. So if you want these extra features you
+ will have to recompile compiz again AFTER you build and install
+ libcompizconfig. This is not required it is just an option if you want
+ to do it.
+
+5) After you install compiz and the companion packages you will need to
+ launch CCSM and enable "Move", "Resize Window", and "Window Decorations"
+ before you start compiz. This way you can manage your windows. After
+ you enable those three options you can start compiz and customize to
+ your liking.
