Hey,

> 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.

Congrats to the plymouth team! It must be time for me to revisit the
'clock' plugin that I've been meaning to do but never seem to get the
time.
