Hey guys,
I released 0.7.0 today here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/plymouth/releases/
This release fixes numerous bugs since 0.6.0. In addition,
it brings:
- "shutdown mode" for splash screens (so system shutdown can
be splashed.
- Separation of splash themes from splash plugins. This way
more than one theme can use the same plugin, but with different
images and other content.
- A new splash plugin called "two-step" which shows two animations,
one synchronized to boot time, and one displayed very quickly
at the end of boot.
- A new splash plugin called "script" which makes it possible to
write themes without build goo and without knowing C.
- pkgconfig fix ups to facilitate out-of-tree plugins
- More debuggability
- Better performance when a lot of small things change all over the
screen.

(Some of these things were already in Fedora before F11 went GA, the
rest will be pushed to rawhide soon)
