Yes it is. Well its a binary that gives you a couple of examples of new 
capabilities, i.e. fades, movement and animations. (There could be other 
stuff, but not in the demo.) If you don't have OpenGL acceleration, don't 
even bother as the demo will be sloooooooowwwwww ;-) It'll be possible to 
turn this off in the proper implementation for slower systems.

Apparently a lot of the initial discussion goes on between the devs off-list. 
Sensible bearing in mind that a) they know the current architecture, b) 
they'll be the ones doing all (?) the work, and c) it'll save them wasting 
breath explaining for the twentieth time why feature X is not going to be 
implemented ;-)

I'm a newb around here, I just got lucky talking to one of the devs on another 
site talking about themes. He told me to hold off substantial work, as the 
whole "kit and kaboodle" was going to be changing for 0.19.
