Good news, everyone! A new Clutter release is now available at: http://source.clutter-project.org/sources/clutter/1.10/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/clutter/1.10/ Release Notes This version is API and ABI compatible with the current stable ... [More] release of Clutter. Installing the contents of this release will overwrite the files from the installation of the current release of Clutter. Bugs should be reported on the Clutter Bugzilla product. List of major changes since Clutter 1.8 Multi-backend support Clutter can now be compiled with multiple backends inside the same shared library; the backend can be selected at run time through an environment variable. Platform updates A backend using the GDK windowing system and event API has been added; the Wayland client backend has been updated to match the 0.85 protocol version; the XInput 2.2 API and specification are supported by the native X11 backend; the CEx100 platforms are now supported through an experimental backend. New scene graph API ClutterActor is now the concrete class that handles everything that is related to the structure of the UI; the addition, removal, and iteration of the children of an actor is exposed through the ClutterActor API. New render object and content API Actors are responsible of creating a tree of render objects detailing the pipeline state and geometry to be submitted to the GPU. Painting can also be delegated to implementations of the Content interface. Layout management delegation ClutterActor can use a ClutterLayoutManager to delegate the positiong and sizing of its children. New implicit animations API Animatable properties can be automatically tweened when using the public setters instead of going through clutter_actor_animate(). Deprecations ClutterScore, ClutterRectangle, ClutterBox, and ClutterGroup are deprecated classes; the default ClutterStage has been deprecated; the child addition, removal, and iteration API in ClutterContainer has been deprecated. The deprecations are versioned, and they will trigger compiler warnings that can be toggled, instead of relying on hiding the declarations from the headers. For the complete list of changes, see the 1.9 developers snapshot announcement emails available here: 1.9.2 1.9.4 1.9.6 1.9.8 1.9.10 1.9.12 1.9.14 1.9.16 List of changes since Clutter 1.9.16 Fix ClutterTimeline:current-repeat accessor The :current-repeat value was being incremented prior to emitting the completed signal, which meant that signal handlers would not be able to retrieve the correct value. Improve the memory management of Transitions ClutterActor now takes a reference on the Transitions that have been added to it, and releases the reference when the Transition is removed; this means that it's safe to release the reference of a transition after adding it, to let ClutterActor own it. Remove the Animatable argument for PropertyTransition constructor The animatable was not meant to be there in the first place; the PropertyTransition will perform validation on the property lazily, once it's been attached to the actor. Clean up documentation and examples Ensure that the API reference is using the correct API and best practices. Fix TableLayout policy for actors spanning multiple rows or columns The ClutterTableLayout inherited some small bug from MxTable that got fixed in the meantime; the layout policy has been re-synchronized. Build fixes for the Wayland backend. Updated VisualStudio project files.
