Circle Pacific is not new. We've known about it for years! They've just never bothered to advertise it properly.
There's also some sort of CIRIND (Circle Indian Ocean?) fare. Apart from its existence, I don't know any details, but its name kind of reminds me of the same sort of itinerary as this proposed Circle Trip Explorer fare, which also, btw, exists already. Didn't someone post some info on this one about a month ago?

What is new is that these fares will now be offered in all countries. The press release mentions that these "new" fares have been available in "select" countries ... rather annoying to know a fare exists and be unable to originate at some cities along a valid routing. Now that is (finally) corrected and Oneworld starts having more of a worldwide aspect.
