## Changelog
## Call for testers
### `--experimental-backends`
This flag enables the refactored/partially rewritten backends.
Currently new backends features better vsync with the xrender backend, improved input lag with the glx backend (for non-NVIDIA users). The performance should be on par with the old backends.
New backend features will only be implemented on the new backends from now on, and the old backends will eventually be phased out after the new backends stabilizes.
To test the new backends, add the `--experimental-backends` flag to the command line you used to run compton. This flag is not available from the configuration file.
To report issues with the new backends, please state explicitly you are using the new backends in your report.
