Compiz got me confused

So recently compiz merged with compiz-fusion to create compiz. As far as I know the most recent version of this "new" compiz is 0.8.2. And I suppose compiz-fusion will be no longer developed.
Considering all this, what should I install from the repos, compiz or compiz-fusion? I previously used compiz-fusion on my Ubuntu and I want zoom and active corners functionality. Does the new compiz 0.8.2 have the compiz-fusion plugins? And is the compiz-core available in the repos THIS compiz?

Yes, the compiz-core in community is "THIS compiz" (current merged compiz).
It has many, but not all, of the "old compiz-fusion" plugins.  Active corners can be set, it has zoom desktop.
Extra compiz-fusion plugins are still available, although I haven't had them installed since the upgrade...
