1 Clutter 1.10.0 2012-03-22
2 ===============================================================================
4 • Clutter 1.10.0, new stable release
6 • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.16
8 - Fix ClutterTimeline:current-repeat accessor
9 The :current-repeat value was being incremented prior to emitting the
10 completed signal, which meant that signal handlers would not be able
11 to retrieve the correct value.
13 - Improve the memory management of Transitions
14 ClutterActor now takes a reference on the Transitions that have been
15 added to it, and releases the reference when the Transition is removed;
16 this means that it's safe to release the reference of a transition after
17 adding it, to let ClutterActor own it.
19 - Remove the Animatable argument for PropertyTransition constructor
20 The animatable was not meant to be there in the first place; the
21 PropertyTransition will perform validation on the property lazily, once
22 it's been attached to the actor.
24 - Clean up documentation and examples
25 Ensure that the API reference is using the correct API and best
28 - Fix TableLayout policy for actors spanning multiple rows or columns
29 The ClutterTableLayout inherited some small bug from MxTable that got
30 fixed in the meantime; the layout policy has been re-synchronized.
32 - Build fixes for the Wayland backend.
34 - Updated VisualStudio project files.

46 Clutter 1.9.16 2012-03-19
47 ===============================================================================
49 • Clutter 1.10.0, release-candidate 1
51 • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.14
53 - Support implicit animatable properties
54 Various properties of ClutterActor can now be implicitly animated when
55 using the public setters, instead of going through the animation API;
56 this is an opt-in mechanism for the 1.x API series.
58 - Introduce paint nodes
59 ClutterPaintNode is an element of the render tree; it is used to store
60 the pipeline state and the geometry to be drawn. Actors have the ability
61 to be painted using the paint nodes by overriding the paint_node() virtual
62 function instead of the paint() virtual function. For the 1.x API series
63 the render tree will be consumed per-actor, but the plan is to build a
64 full tree as the authoritative source for the 2.x API series.
66 - Support Content delegates
67 ClutterContent is an interface that allows creating classes that will
68 painted in place of an actor's paint() virtual function. Clutter provides
69 two content types: Canvas, a Cairo-based immediate canvas for drawing the
70 contents of an actor; and Image, a content that will paint image data.
72 - ClutterText improvements
73 The caret of editable text actors is now centered, and the background
74 color will be respected when painting the actor.
76 - Support for the XInput 2.2 extension
77 Clutter will now relay touch events coming from the X server, as well
78 as precise scrolling delta, for devices with those two capabilities.
79 The support is still experimental, and limited to the X11 platform for
83 Slovenian, Assamese, Bulgarian, Spanish, Galician, Belarusian, Traditional
84 Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), British English, Hebrew, Polish, Catalan,
85 Khmer, Russian, Finnish, Odia, Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Lithuanian,
86 Portuguese, Czech, Swedish, French.

110 Clutter 1.9.14 2012-03-05
111 ===============================================================================
113 • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.12
115 - Support custom versioning boundaries for the API
116 Now that GLib provides macros for changing the minimum required and
117 maximum allowed version of a library, Clutter can respect the
118 boundaries expressed using CLUTTER_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED and
119 CLUTTER_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED.
121 - Add version information to deprecations
123 - Move all deprecated symbols to separate header files
125 - Documentation and annotation fixes.
127 - Accessibility fixes in Cally
128 Do not use ClutterActor:name as the accessible name, and do not
129 provide the extents of an accessible object if the actor to which
130 it refers is not on screen.
132 - Updates to the Wayland compositor and client support
133 Clutter now allows being used for creating hybrid Wayland/X11
134 compositors, working with KMS and evdev directly.
136 - Translation updates: Bulgarian, Ukranian, Galician, Uyghur, Belarusian,
137 Brazilian Portuguese, Telugu, Slovenian, Assamese, Serbian.

152 Clutter 1.9.12 2012-02-23
153 ===============================================================================
155 • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.10
157 - Add ClutterTimeline:repeat-count and deprecate :loop
158 The :repeat-count property supercedes the :loop property, and it
159 provides a way to specify the number of repeats that a timeline
160 should perform - with the option of specifying an "infinity" value.
162 - Add a progress mode for ClutterTimeline
163 This begins the "soft deprecation" of ClutterAlpha. Instead of
164 requiring a full object to compute an easing function out of a
165 linear progress coming from ClutterTimeline, we should have this
166 functionality on ClutterTimeline itself. Since ClutterAlpha is
167 still exposed in API that we cannot deprecate (such as virtual
168 functions) we cannot deprecate it fully, and we'll have to wait
169 until the 2.0 API bump to get rid of it.
171 - Fix ClutterBoxLayout allocation
172 Since the update of the box layout algorithm there have been a
173 bunch of regressions; now the layout works as intended.
175 - Improve the performance of the shader-based effect in Clutter
176 The effects shipped with Clutter now use the CoglSnippet API
177 internally, which allows efficient generation of the shader code;
178 they also ensure that the shader is generated once per class, and
179 shared across instances. These changes should improve performance
180 when using effects provided by Clutter.
182 - Update the internal usage of Cogl API
183 Clutter should strive to use the Cogl 2.0 API internally and not
184 mix the 1.0 and 2.0 API.
186 - Allow accessing Wayland input devices
187 This is a change that allows Clutter-based toolkits to interact
188 with Wayland in a meaningful way for operations like resize and
191 - Add a convenience CLUTTER_BIND_ALL enumeration
192 This allows binding both position and size of an actor when using
193 a ClutterBindConstraint.
196 Use the newly added API to reimplement focus tracking.
198 - Visual Studio project updates
200 - Add clutter_text_coords_to_position()
201 This method roundtrips the position_to_coords() one, and allows
202 retrieving the index of the character at the given actor-relative
205 - Documentation updates.
207 - Introspection annotation fixes.
209 • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.9.10
212 #669730 - actor: Fix and improve add_child_at_index()

223 ===============================================================================
225 • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.8
227 - Provide symbolic names for pointer buttons
228 The primary, middle, and secondary pointer buttons now have simple and
229 easy to remember constants that can be used in place of the "magic"
232 - Add ClutterActorIter
233 A simple API, using a stack allocated opaque structure, for safely and
234 efficiently traverse the children of a ClutterActor.
236 - Fix regression introduced by the default FixedLayout layout manager
237 Existing ClutterActor subclasses using their own layout management should
238 now work exactly like in Clutter 1.8.
240 - Documentation fixes
241 Including introspection annotations fixes.
243 - Updates to the Wayland backend
244 The Wayland client backend is now up to date with the 0.85 release of
245 the Wayland protocol.
247 • Bugs fixed since Clutter 1.9.8
250 #668692 - Add symbolic names for left, right and middle buttons

264 • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.6
266 - Fix regressions in users of deprecated API
267 Also, allow to mix the new Actor API with the old Container API without
270 - Add GResource support in ClutterScript
271 GResource is a new infrastructure in GIO that allows to compile resources
272 like UI builder files and image data into a shared library or an
273 executable. A newly added method to ClutterScript makes it possible to
274 load a UI definition from a resource, like it's done for files and
277 - Update the Wayland client backend
278 The SHM transport API has changed upstream, and the Clutter backend has
279 been updated to reflect it.
283 Rob Bradford, Fran Diéguez
285 Clutter 1.9.6 2012-01-19
286 ===============================================================================
288 • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.4
290 - Deprecate clutter_actor_show_all() and clutter_actor_hide_all()
291 The latter never did make a lot of sense: hiding the parent will
292 effectively hide the children as well; the former was there only for
293 convenience, but Actors are visible by default.
295 - Gracefully handle existing code
296 The changes in ClutterActor introduced regressions in existing code
297 because of the new functionaly that was introduced to replace deprecated
298 classes like Box and Group. These regressions have hopefully been fixed;
299 Clutter 1.9.6 has been tested with a project as complex as the GNOME
302 - Fix build with binutils-gold
303 The private dependencies were not used when building Clutter, and this
304 made the Gold linker angry.
306 - Allow tracking of an actor's first and last child
307 ClutterActor has two new properties, :first-child and :last-child; these
308 are read-only properties that can be used by toolkits based on Clutter
309 to track the first and last child whenever they change.
311 - Bump the Cogl dependency
312 The 1.9.4 release depended on Cogl ≥ 1.9.4, but the minimum required
313 version was not bumped along with the changes.
315 • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.9.4
318 #668137 - FTBFS: pangoft2 check seems to be broken
320 Clutter 1.9.4 2012-01-17
321 ===============================================================================
323 • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.2
325 - New scene graph API in ClutterActor
326 ClutterActor now provides the API for adding, removing, and iterating
327 over the list of children; this deprecates most of the ClutterContainer
328 API. ClutterActor implements ClutterContainer as well, which means that
329 all actors can be containers.
331 - Layout management updates
332 ClutterActor now have an horizontal and vertical alignment properties
333 that will be used when added to a parent; a margin has also been added
334 to the ClutterActor class. Both margin and alignment will be automatically
335 managed during the allocation, so they will work out of the box. It is
336 also possible to set a ClutterLayoutManager delegate object on any
337 ClutterActor instance: the LayoutManager will take care of the layout
338 policy for the children of an actor.
340 - Add ClutterTextBuffer
341 The ClutterTextBuffer class provides a storage for the contents of
342 a ClutterText actor; the same instance can be shared across different
343 actors as well. The main use for ClutterTextBuffer is implementing
344 secure memory storage for the contents of a ClutterText in password
348 ClutterGroup, ClutterBox, and ClutterRectangle have been deprecated; their
349 functionality is now available directly in ClutterActor. The old child
350 actor management API in ClutterActor and ClutterContainer has been
351 deprecated as well. Other deprecations include the ClutterStage
352 fog-related properties and API; the ClutterContainer.sort_depth_order(),
353 raise(), and lower() virtual functions; the internal child push and
354 pop methods on ClutterActor.
356 - ClutterTimeline can parse markers from ClutterScript
357 Markers can now be defined inside ClutterScript, and a ClutterTimeline
358 will be able to automatically add them from a UI definition.
360 - Add a diagnostic mode
361 Similar to the GLib diagnostic mode, Clutter now supports an environment
362 variable that will print out diagnostic messages for deprecations and
363 warnings that can only be detected at run-time.
365 - Wayland backend updates
366 The wayland backend now tracks the latest API changes in the client API,
367 and Clutter now provides a Wayland surface actor that allows to write
368 Wayland compositors, similarly to the X11TexturePixmap actor for the
371 • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.9.2
374 #665040 - The offscreen effect always recreates the texture if
375 create_texture() is overridden to change the size
376 #665052 - The internal effects should queue a repaint on the effect not
377 on the actor when a property changes
378 #664996 - clutter_state_set_key (allow-none)
379 #664336 - path: Fix introspection annotations

394 Clutter 1.9.2 2011-11-22
395 ===============================================================================
397 • List of changes since Clutter 1.8
399 - Multi-backend build, and run-time backend selection
400 Clutter can be built with support for multiple backends in the same
401 shared library; the backend singleton is determined at run-time,
402 either with the default backend for the platform, or using the value
403 of the CLUTTER_BACKEND environment variable.
405 - GDK windowing system backend
406 A new backend has been added, which uses the GDK API for creating the
407 drawing surface, as well as receiving the windowing system and input
410 - Show a hint when ClutterText is in password mode
411 If the password-hint-time ClutterSettings property is set to a non
412 zero value, the last character entered inside a ClutterText actor when
413 in password mode will be shown in plain for the duration of the timeout,
414 before being replaced by the glyph chosen as the password character.
416 - Improve Windows build support
417 Clutter now provides project files to build the library using Visual
418 Studio 9 and Visual Studio 10. Also, the scripts to build Clutter using
419 MinGW have been improved.
421 - Remove the requirement for using clutter_threads_init()
422 Threads are initialized by default (depending on the platform), so there
423 is no need to call clutter_threads_init().
425 - Deprecate the default ClutterStage
426 The semantics of the default Stage were not obvious, and had the tendency
429 - Move the deprecated headers into their own directory
430 This should help developers identify the deprecated API.
432 - Change deprecation policy
433 Deprecated functions are now marked using compiler annotations, instead
434 of being forcibly disabled through pre-processor directives from the
435 headers. Deprecations will cause compiler warnings, and thus are enabled
436 by default. If you're building your project with compiler flags that
437 consider every warning a fatal error, you can use the symbol
438 CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS to disable the deprecation warnings.
440 - Translation updates
441 Portuguese, Assamese, Punjabi, Tamil, Oriya, Telugu, French, German,
442 Danish, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), Catalan, Esperanto,
443 Lithuanian, Galician, Norwegian bokmål, Slovenian, Hebrew, Bulgarian.

491 ===============================================================================
493 • List of changes since Clutter 1.7.14
495 - Make sure that setting :use-markup does not depend on the order
496 Setting the :use-markup property should yield the same results regardless
497 of whether the :text property is also set before or after. This applies to
498 ClutterText defined using ClutterScript as well.
500 - Protect against multiple unrealize call on ClutterStage
501 This should fix a segmentation fault in clutter-gtk when unrealize() is
502 called multiple times on an already unrealized stage.
504 - Fortify ATK event listener
505 Make sure that we subscribe only to the events we want to, and avoid
506 warnings caused by AT-SPI, as well as a leak.

534 ===============================================================================
536 • List of changes since Clutter 1.7.12
538 - Use newer version of ATK
539 Cally now depends on the latest version of ATK, to reduce the amount of
540 ad hoc code needed and to use newer features that simplify the
541 implementation of accessible objects in Clutter.
543 - Allow using Layout Managers with generic containers
544 Layout managers should not assume that they are allocating the whole
545 area available from the Actor using them; this allows actors that
546 support concepts like padding or margin to use a LayoutManager internally
550 Add a recipe on how to bind a ClutterState to the signals of objects
551 defined in ClutterScript. We also install the cookbook examples inside
552 the $datadir/clutter-1.0/cookbook/examples directory.
554 - Improve examples in the API reference
555 Some of the interactive test suite units are actually good examples of
556 how to use the Clutter API; we can use the XInclude tags to include the
557 source code inside the API reference.
559 - Ensure thread safety of the repaint functions add/removal
560 Fix a long standing issue where adding or removing repaint functions
561 was not acquiring a lock; now it's safe to manipulate the repaint
562 functions list from different threads.
564 - Make the ClutterText:line-wrap property work again
565 In 1.2 the :line-wrap property was broken, and ClutterText would paint
566 a PangoLayout wrapping until it fit the height of the allocation
567 regardless of whether the :line-wrap property was set to FALSE or
568 TRUE. Now we clip the PangoLayout before rendering it, if the :line-wrap
569 property is set to FALSE and there is no ellipsization policy set.
571 - Disable redirection to offscreen buffer by default
572 Whenever a ClutterActor with children was not fully opaque, the actor
573 was redirected to an FBO, to perform correct opacity computations.
574 Sadly, this can lead to 3x slowdowns, given the amount of framebuffer
575 objects created and the state changes that have to be performed. We
576 decided to turn off this feature by default, to avoid the performance
577 hit. It is still possible to enable this feature on a per-actor basis,
578 though, and will work to reduce the hit in future versions of Cogl,
579 Clutter and the drivers.

602 - Reload the font caches on X11 when the user installs a new font
603 Whenever the user installs a new font inside one of the directories that
604 ware being watched by a session daemon, or changes the fontconfig
605 configuration, the toolkits using FontConfig (either directly or indirectly
606 e.g. through Pango, like Clutter) should listen to the Fontconfig/Timestamp
607 XSETTINGS key and release all the font configuration caches. This allows
608 selecting the newly installed fonts without requiring the user to restart
611 - Allow using "font-description" as a ClutterScript alias for "font-name"
612 ClutterText:font-description allows passing a PangoFontDescription
613 directly to a ClutterText; when defining a ClutterText instance inside a
614 ClutterScript file, :font-description should be an alias for :font-name,
615 which takes a string and converts it to a PangoFontDescription.
617 - Make sure that LayoutManager subclasses take the allocation origin
618 into account when allocating the children
619 A LayoutManager should be resilient against allocations with an origin
620 not positioned at (0, 0); this allows actors using a layout manager
621 instance to munge the box and implement things like margin and padding
622 without the layout manager having knowledge of those concepts.
625 Always link against libm when building Clutter (and its tests); don't
626 rely on libraries lower on the stack to do so.

645 - Do not update the last paint volume when picking
646 Last minute fix for an issue that was most prominently manifesting itself
647 when using GNOME Shell with Clutter 1.7; this should resolve the issue
648 that dragging icons from the dash left around some stale pixels.

665 ===============================================================================
667 • List of changes since Clutter 1.7.6
669 - Various fixes in Cally
670 Make sure to use Clutter's API and remove old workarounds that were put
671 into place when Cally was a separate project and targeting pre-1.0 API
674 - Add ClutterCairoTexture:auto-resize
675 This property makes it easier to create 2D canvas surfaces by tracking
676 the actor's allocation in a backward compatible way.
678 - Add ClutterAnimatable.interpolate_value()
679 This new virtual function deprecates the animate_property() virtual of the
680 Animatable interface, which was sub-optimal in different ways.
682 - Allow using Animatable implementations with ClutterState
683 Thanks to the new interpolate_value() virtual it is now possible to use
684 the Animatable interface with ClutterState; this allows animating
685 action, constraint and effect properties using the same "@" syntax also
686 used by ClutterAnimation and clutter_actor_animate().
688 - Improve ClutterModel's implementation
689 Avoid a bunch of needless checks, and make sure that the ::row-changed
690 signal is emitted in all cases when a row has been changed through the
691 ClutterModelIter API. The conformance test unit for ClutterModel has
692 also been improved to avoid future regressions.
694 - Improve ClutterStage behaviour on OS X
695 Make sure that the fullscreen, multi-screen and key focusing are
696 well-behaved on OS X, by implementing the correct delegate methods.

723 - Accessibility fixes in Cally
724 Fix the implementation of the AtkText interface for ClutterText.
726 - Depend on the new Cogl windowing system API.
728 - Add functions for retrieving the clip boundaries on the Stage
729 The clutter_stage_get_redraw_clip_bounds() function is useful for
730 window managers (like Mutter) that need to retrieve the clipped
731 region used on the Stage.
733 - Auto-detect the default flavour when building
734 The default flavour used when building should be set depending
737 - Mark the OSX backend as non-experimental
738 The OSX backend is being developed, and maintained, so it should
739 not be considered experimental.
741 - Make sure that Gestures are cancelled when missing release events
743 - Correct the rounding for paint volumes
744 Try to provide stable results against potential floating point rounding
745 margins when projecting 3D paint volumes into screen bounding boxes;
746 this should avoid re-creating FBOs and always correctly handle clipped
749 - Do not clobber XI2 events data
750 This allows to play along with other toolkits using XI2.

789 Clutter 1.7.4 2011-07-04
790 ===============================================================================
792 • List of changes since Clutter 1.7.2
794 - Unify the GLX and EGL backends to be a single code base
795 The GLX and EGL backends shared most of their code, and with the split
796 out Cogl, we can unify the code base into a single backend. The API as
797 well as the ABI are preserved.
799 - Restore a wider range of Z values for actors
800 The computation for the near and far planes given the perspective
801 transformation used to set up the viewport was broken in 1.7.2, and
802 the distance from the focal point was greatly reduced. This has now
805 - Bump up the dependency of Cogl
806 New windowing system API in Cogl required bumping the minimum version
807 to the latest development snapshot, 1.7.2.
809 - Add ClutterDropAction
810 The ClutterDropAction is an action for allowing ClutterActors to react
811 when an actor being dragged through ClutterDragAction crosses, or is
814 - Add a performance test suite
815 This suite is an addition to our conformance and interactive test
816 suites; the infrastructure can be used by buildbots and report tools
817 to track performance regressions across various commits.
819 - Documentation and annotation fixes

851 Clutter 1.7.2 2011-06-13
852 ===============================================================================
854 • List of changes since Clutter 1.6.0
856 - Cogl moved out of tree
857 The Clutter OpenGL abstraction library has been moved to a separate
858 repository and can be used as a stand-alone shared library. Clutter
859 has been modified to depend on Cogl's experimental API.
861 - Correctly composite non fully opaque children
862 Non fully opauqe actors with non fully opaque children will automatically
863 redirect children paint operations to offscreen buffers, which allow
864 correct composition taking into account the overall opacity of the scene's
865 sub-graph. The same mechanism can be used to create a paint cache, and
866 paint that cache when the actor or its children do not change, instead of
867 painting the whole sub-graph again.
869 - Allow connecting signals to ClutterState states in ClutterScript
870 When defining a scene using ClutterScript it's possible to directly
871 connect a state inside a ClutterState object (both defined in
872 ClutterScript or in code) to an object's signal, without using an
873 explicit signal handler in the code.
875 - Long-press handling in ClutterClickAction
876 ClutterClickAction will detect a long-press gesture and emit signals
877 to query, activation and cancellation.
879 - Added ClutterGestureAction and ClutterSwipeAction
880 ClutterGestureAction is a generic "pointer gesture" action; it doesn't
881 provide an implementation: it's up to the developer to add the gesture
882 recognition code. ClutterSwipeAction is a GestureAction sub-class that
883 implement the "swipe" gesture. The GestureAction API is already future
884 proof for multi-device/multi-touch, even though the multi-touch isn't
885 currently implemented.
887 - Allow Effects to influence picking
888 Effects that change the geometry of a ClutterActor should also be
889 allowed to change the picking code to make sure that event handling
890 keeps working. ClutterEffect has a new pick() virtual function for

1130 ClutterX11TexturePixmap and the low level CoglTexturePixmapX11
1131 API provide access to the same features.
1133 » Be more resilient against timelines controlling the state of
1134 other timelines during the clock tick.
1136 » Provide defines for the windowing platforms, to allow portable
1137 applications to include the correct header and select the
1138 correct API depending on the target.
1140 » Introduce a fast path for cogl_read_pixels() that uses the journal
1141 to determine the position of a single pixel on the stage; this
1142 fast path gracefully degrades to the usual render-based approach,
1143 and should speed up picking considerably in the case of opaque
1144 quads batched together.
1146 » Support XInput axis data on valuator devices, and introduce XInput2
1147 support for event translation and device hotplugging. The support
1148 for XI and XI2 must still be explicitly enabled by the developer,
1149 but it is now compiled in by default. It can be disabled at compile
1150 time by passing --disable-xinput to the configure script.
1152 » Clean up the unintentionally leaked internal symbols in the X11

1273 Clutter 1.5.8 2010-11-29
1274 ===============================================================================
1276 • List of changes since Clutter 1.5.6
1278 » Add a migration guide for code using Behaviours.
1280 » Allow parsing rgb(), rgba(), hls() and hlsa() color definitions.
1282 » Performance improvements for the ClutterX11TexturePixmap.
1284 » For caching purposes, do not discard the Material or the compiled
1285 shaders for Offscreen and Shader effects.
1287 » Fix image height in 3D Cogl textures.
1289 » Create a GLSL generation backend for materials, similar to the
1290 ARBfp one; this backend is the default for GLES2.
1292 » Use FBOs and cogl_read_pixels() to efficiently read back partial
1295 » Various fixes in paint volumes computation and caching.
1297 » Use the internal scene graph walk API to remove the map/unmap
1298 implementation requirement for composite actors and for

1316 Clutter 1.5.6 2010-11-19
1317 ===============================================================================
1319 • List of changes since Clutter 1.5.4
1321 » Deprecate ClutterBehaviour and its sub-classes: the same functionality
1322 is available using the animation framework.
1324 » Add ClutterSnapConstraint, a constraint implementation that snaps
1325 together the edges of two actors.
1327 » Add ClutterPathConstraint::node-reached.
1329 » Deprecate ClutterTimeoutPool and ClutterFrameSource: this API is
1330 not used internally any more, and since it's not integrated with
1331 the master clock it's of relative use.
1333 » Add a named, global color palette.
1335 » Add the ClutterTimeline:reverse property, for automatically
1336 reversing the direction of a timeline after the emission of
1337 the ::completed signal.
1339 » Performance improvements in the clip stack.
1341 » Do not use pointer grabs in ClutterClickAction.
1343 » Improve the internally used Cogl API for primitives, paths and
1344 buffers; this is the first step towards Cogl 2.0.
1346 » Allow using the COGL_DEBUG environment variable to disable the
1349 » Plug a nasty infinite loop in the XSETTINGS implementation.
1351 » Internally rename CoglMaterial to CoglPipeline; this should make
1352 it clearer that the API refers to the state of the GPU pipeline.
1354 » Add support for clipped redraws on EGL using the NOK_swap_region
1359 » Use the monotonic clock API if compiling against GLib ≥ 2.27.3.
1361 » Update examples in the Cookbook.
1363 » Add a Cookbook recipe for looping animations.

1421 Clutter 1.5.2 (04/10/2010)
1422 ===============================================================================
1424 • List of changes since Clutter 1.4.0
1426 » Add API to ClutterActor to allow any actor to define its 3D paint
1427 volume and its stage-relative 2D bounding box; the paint volume is
1428 the 3D space occupied by an actor during the paint sequence. This
1429 allows better sizing of the FBOs, and opens the door to scenegraph
1430 culling and accurate clipped redraws. The mechanism is opt-in: actors
1431 have to implement the get_paint_volume() virtual function. Callbacks
1432 attached to the ::paint signal will also disable any culling and
1433 clipped redraw in place internally.
1435 » Plug a leak in ClutterActor by disposing all constraints.
1437 » Rework the build system to be as non-recursive as possible; this should
1438 speed up the build of Clutter, and makes the build layout easier to
1439 understand and update.
1441 » Remove the internal copy of JSON-GLib; the internal copy was falling
1442 behind at a spectacular level, and it was actually making the build
1443 rather complicated - also by adding an unwanted, but needed,
1444 introspection data generation. The required JSON-GLib has also been
1445 bumped to the new stable release, 0.12.0.
1447 » Use g_object_install_properties() with GLib 2.26.
1449 » Implement ClutterContainer::child-notify, which slipped through the
1450 cracks of many development cycles without anyone noticing.
1452 » Document and test clutter_actor_contains(), especially the corner
1455 » Plug a leak in CoglTexture2DSliced.
1457 » Plug a leak in ClutterAnimator's handling of timelines.
1459 » Trap glXDestroyPixmap() in CoglTexturePixmapX11 to avoid BadDrawable
1460 errors when the GLX pixmap is destroyed behind Cogl's back.
1473 Clutter 1.4.0 (24/09/2010)
1474 ===============================================================================
1476 • List of changes since Clutter 1.3.14

1483 » Include ClutterConstraints into the allocation phase, to avoid layout
1484 cycles and improve the performance.
1486 » Add new recipes to the Cookbook to illustrate constraints-based
1489 » Fix the request mode of ClutterBoxLayout.
1491 » Fix the handling of transformations in ClutterOffscreenEffect.

1517 - texture cross-fading
1518 - ClutterScript definitions
1521 - reusing complex animations
1523 » Add methods to retrieve the clicked button and to force a release
1526 » Documentation fixes in the API reference.
1528 » Cache a full pick buffer and re-use it in case the scene does not change
1531 » Fix a Valgrind report of memory corruption in ClutterState.remove_key().
1533 » Allow detaching animations created with clutter_actor_animate().
1535 » Depend on GObject-Introspection >= 0.9.5.
1537 » Provide introspection data for the X11-specific API, like
1538 ClutterX11TexturePixmap
1540 » Use a template material for ClutterTexture to minimize the creation of
1543 » Split ClutterDragAction:drag-threshold into two, per-axis properties:
1544 :x-drag-threshold and :y-drag-threshold.
1546 » Allow disabling the -Bsymbolic flag when linking.
1548 » Use gettext >= 0.17 to handle the localization.
1550 » Flush the framebuffer earlier when drawing the vertex buffers, to fix
1551 a crash when dealing with clip stacks.
1553 » Make sure ClutterX11TexturePixmap removes the Cogl texture handle before
1554 freeing the X11 Pixmap to avoid an error.
1556 » Avoid regenerating the CoglMaterial programs too many times.
1577 Clutter 1.3.12 (16/08/2010)

1599 emission of the ::notify signal on property changes.
1601 » Re-use the Cogl texture atlas for the CoglPango glyphs cache,
1602 and improve the performance with large font sizes.
1604 » Various fixes in the Materials comparison and inheritance.
1606 » Add the ability to associate a user program to a material.
1617 Clutter 1.3.10 (04/08/2010)
1618 ===============================================================================
1620 • List of changes since Clutter 1.3.8

1623 generating ARBfp programs for the materials.
1625 » Use the XKB extension on X11 platforms to convert between hardware
1626 keys to key symbols.
1628 » Documentation fixes in the API reference.
1630 » More recipes, with videos and full examples, in the Cookbook.
1632 » Add localization support and initial translations of error messages

1671 AlignConstraint logic.
1673 » Update the internal COGL tesselator with the latest GLU code.
1675 » Fix CoglTexture data readback.
1677 » Use GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE on GLES when checking the supported texture size.
1679 » Add missing public functions from COGL headers.
1681 » Fix GLES build after the Cogl material changes.
1683 » Rename the experimental CoglPixelBuffer API to CoglPixelArray.
1685 » Split the clutter_state_change() method into two:
1686 clutter_state_set_state(), for animated state changes; and
1687 clutter_state_warp_to_state() for immediate state changes.
1689 » Documentation and introspection fixes.
1703 Clutter 1.3.6 (30/06/2010)
1704 ===============================================================================
1706 • List of changes since Clutter 1.3.4
1708 » Provide a fallback on GLX if the MESA_copy_sub_buffer extension is not
1709 available, by using EXT_framebuffer_blit. Both mechanisms are also
1710 throttled to avoid taking all resources when using them in a compositor
1713 » Use (and cache) fragment shaders instead of texture combiners inside
1714 Cogl materials. Cogl will automatically fall back from GLSL to ARBfp
1715 to fixed functions depending on the level of support of the underlying
1718 » Implement a new design for materials; this allows scaling up the
1719 number of materials in a scene, and also makes copying materials
1722 » Make Cogl materials responsible for depth testing, and add new
1725 » Use the (modified) GLU tesselator to draw paths to a vertex buffer
1726 object instead of using the stencil buffer, or the scanline rasterizer
1727 on platforms without a stencil buffer.
1729 » Add ClutterDeformEffect, a base class for effects that deform an
1730 actor's geometry when painting it; ClutterPageTurnEffect is an
1731 implementation of a "page curl" deformation using the DeformEffect
1734 » Always use scissoring when clipping, to reduce the amount of buffer
1735 that has to be cleared.
1737 » Allow ClutterShaderEffect sub-classes to use vertex shaders by setting
1738 a constructor property; the default remains fragment shader.
1740 » Remove the button of the press event from the DragAction::drag-begin
1741 and DragAction::drag-end signals. This is an API break from 1.3.4.
1743 » Do not promote clipped redraws to full redraws.
1745 » Improve the consistency of the default state name in ClutterState,
1746 both in the API and in the serialization format.
1748 » Fix a rounding error with the Text layout size.
1750 » Add utility functions for CoglMatrix and CoglColor.
1752 » Avoid a re-allocation cycle warning when resizing the surface of
1753 a CairoTexture actor from within the allocate() implementation.
1755 » Do not add the GL libraries for the EGL X11 backend.
1757 » Add more checks for size of data passed to the shader types GValue
1760 » Add width and height to the BindConstraint.
1762 » Parse actions, constraints and effects inside an actor definition
1765 » Merge the code of native and x11 backends for EGL into a single
1766 backend; also allow creating GL context with the EGL backend.
1768 » Use XSETTINGS to set up the backend configuration options, like
1769 the font name, resolution, font options and double click options,
1770 on X11; this also allows ClutterText actors created using the
1771 default font name to be updated when the font name and options
1772 change; similarly, this allows ClutterUnits to be updated when
1773 the screen resolution changes.
1775 » Implement the texture_from_pixmap extension support inside Cogl
1776 itself, and unify ClutterX11TexturePixmap and ClutterGLXTexturePixmap.
1778 » Documentation improvements in the API reference and in the cookbook.
1780 » Use the -Bsymbolic-functions linker option on supported platforms
1781 to avoid intra-library PLT jumps.
1783 » Fix painting transparent stages on X11 using the :use-alpha property
1786 » Fix emission of scroll events on Windows.
1805 Clutter 1.3.4 (07/06/2010)
1806 ===============================================================================
1808 • List of changes since Clutter 1.3.2
1810 » Add ClutterEffect, a ClutterActorMeta sub-class that affects the
1811 way an actor paints itself.
1813 » Clutter provides a base class for effects painting to an
1814 offscreen buffer, and a base class for effects using the
1815 GL programmable pipeline (through the GLSL shader language).
1817 » Clutter also provides some simple, shader-based effects:
1818 ClutterBlurEffect, ClutterColorizeEffect and
1819 ClutterDesaturateEffect.
1821 » Effects can be applied to any actor, and can also be stacked.
1823 » Add ClutterClickAction, an action that provides "button-like"
1824 semantics for any ClutterActor.
1826 » ClutterDragAction now moves the actor to which it has been applied
1827 by default, using a class handler for the ::drag-motion signal.
1829 » Add the :pick-with-alpha property to ClutterTexture; this property
1830 allows using the alpha channel of a texture when picking it.
1832 » Regenerate the mipmaps on COGL textures when a texture is modified.
1834 » Documentation and build fixes.
1843 Clutter 1.3.2 (24/05/2010)
1844 ===============================================================================

1848 » Add ActorMeta, a class for run-time composition of actions and
1849 constraints on a ClutterActor:
1851 » Add ClutterAction, a class for implementing business logic
1852 related to event handling.
1854 » Add ClutterConstraint, a class for implementing business
1855 logic related to sizing and positioning.
1857 » ClutterDragAction is an Action sub-class that implements
1858 signals and properties for dragging actors.
1860 » ClutterAlignConstraint and ClutterBindConstraint are two
1861 Constraint sub-classes that allow relative positioning
1862 with fixed layout managers.
1864 » Add ClutterState, an object for defining state transitions.
1866 » Add ClutterBoxLayout:homogeneous property.
1868 » Implement retained clip stacks.
1870 » Support retained paths.
1872 » Add an experimental vector3 API.
1874 » Require GLib >= 2.18.
1876 » Require Atk >= 1.7.
1878 » Make ClutterActor implement AtkImplementor, and allow retrieving
1879 an AtkObject from a ClutterActor.
1881 » Improve ClutterText's Pango layout caching mechanism.
1883 » Fix set up of the GLX_SGI_swap_control extension.
1887 » Documentation fixes for Clutter and COGL.

1922 » Fix ClutterX11TexturePixmap ::queue-damage-redraw default handler
1923 registration to avoid a run-time warning
1925 » Handle TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB in the 2D sliced textures, and add
1926 a test case for that extension to avoid regressions
1928 » Improve the strictness of the JSON parser in the internal copy
1929 of JSON-GLib to which we fall back in the absence of the system
1932 » Fix a crasher on NVidia drivers when enabling the ARGB visuals
1942 Clutter 1.2.0 (02/03/2010)
1943 ===============================================================================
1945 • List of changes since Clutter 1.1.14
1947 » Improve the Animator API for consistency, and the implementation
1948 to match the intended behaviour, as documented
1950 » Add initial (and internal) support for queueing clipped region updates
1951 and let the GLX texture-from-pixmap actor take advantage of it
1953 » Support any pixel format in cogl_read_pixels()
1955 » Conditionally use G_VALUE_COLLECT_INIT() in functions using variadic
1958 » Consistently use :min-width and :min-height inside the Stage to define
1959 the minimum size of the Stage window

1962 allows setting ClutterModel columns (both types and names) in
1963 ClutterScript definitions
1965 » Add support for unsigned integer indices in the VertexBuffer API
1967 » Documentation fixes for Clutter: the coverage is now 100%

2000 from a foreign GL texture
2002 » Split Clutter's debug annotations from the pick and paint mode
2003 behavioural modifiers
2005 » Improve the usage of the CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT flag so that every
2006 actor using a ClutterFixedLayout manager will automatically benefit
2009 » Fix the packing order of ClutterBox so that the convention of
2010 first-in-first-painted is maintained
2012 » Documentation fixes
2020 Clutter 1.1.12 (16/02/2010)
2021 ===============================================================================

2031 » Fix rounding errors in the preferred height of the ClutterText
2034 » Remove redundant type checks in clutter_actor_get_paint_opacity()
2036 » Add support for the GLX_INTEL_swap_event extension; when using this
2037 extension on GLX the glXSwapBuffers() call becomes non-blocking and
2038 Clutter will use an event to control the master clock.
2040 » Improve consistency between ClutterBox and ClutterGroup.
2042 » On X11, do not set the _NET_WM_PID and WM_TITLE properties on a
2043 Stage X window if the window was not created by Clutter itself

2066 » Fixed a regression in textures that caused all the textures to be
2067 drawn as white rectangles.
2069 » Fixed compilation with the Sun C compiler.
2071 » Use SSE2 instructions to premultiply RGBA images, if available.
2073 » Improve readability of ClutterActor::raise/::lower warnings.
2080 Clutter 1.1.8 (08/02/2010)
2081 ===============================================================================
2083 • List of changes since Clutter 1.1.6
2085 » Added ClutterAnimator, a class that allows defining complex
2086 implicit animations involving multiple actors and states; this
2087 class is mostly meant to be used through the ClutterScript
2088 definition format, but it provides a convenience C API for
2089 easily building animations.
2091 » New experimental COGL API to expose "hardware" buffers such as PBOs or
2092 drm surfaces. This API can be used, for instance, to make texture
2095 » Fixed the issues with resizable stages getting a 1x1 window with
2098 » Expose input devices for every event; by default, X11 and Windows
2099 backends expose the core devices only.
2101 » Add the ClutterStage:key-focus property, for key focus tracking.
2103 » Allow setting transformable value types in ClutterAnimation when
2104 calling clutter_animation_bind() and clutter_animation_update().
2106 » Delay the creation of the default Stage until clutter_stage_get_default()
2107 is actually called; this reduces the work of clutter_init().
2109 » Implement Ctrl+Delete and Ctrl+Backspace in ClutterText
2111 » Improve the extendability of CoglTexture with internal backends.
2113 » Add implicit texture atlasing; Cogl will try to put every texture
2114 inside the same texture atlas by default, to avoid state changes
2115 in the driver and (hopefully) improve performance.
2117 » Fix notification of the cursor and selection changes in ClutterText;
2118 this improves the usage of Clutter from A11Y toolkits.
2120 » Do not wait for a frame if the system clock goes backwards.
2122 » Fix the dirtying of the clip state; this unbreaks cogl_path_fill().
2124 » Documentation and build fixes.
2137 Clutter 1.1.6 (18/01/2010)

2150 » ClutterTexture no longer tries to read back texture data into
2151 g_malloc'd memory on unrealize (bug #1842).
2153 » The CGL_• defines from cogl-defines.h have been removed. These
2154 should not have been used by any applications, but if they were
2155 being used then please replace them either with the Cogl enums or
2156 with the appropriate GL_• enum if you are using GL directly.
2158 » Added a delete-event signal to the stage.
2160 » Fix for using cogl_rectangle with different texture coordinates
2161 for multiple layers (bug #1937).
2163 » Fix for using stencil and depth buffers in FBOs on Intel drivers
2164 in Mesa (bug #1873).
2166 » Support for subtitles in ClutterMedia.
2168 » ClutterGLX will now use an RGB visual by default. For
2169 applications (and toolkit integration libraries) that want to
2170 enable the ClutterStage:use-alpha property there is a new
2171 function: clutter_x11_set_use_argb_visual().
2173 » Fix ClutterText to allow using Pango markup and attributes in
2174 the same actor (bug #1940).
2186 Clutter 1.1.4 (03/01/2010)
2187 ===============================================================================
2189 • List of changes since Clutter 1.1.2
2191 » Update the ClutterScript parser to be more resilient, and support
2192 constructor and ChildMeta properties. The parser also respects the
2193 order of the properties in the UI definitions when applying them,
2194 and will apply the properties of an Actor after building the scene
2197 » Simplified the implementation of LayoutManager sub-classes, and added
2198 support for animating a layout manager.
2200 » Allow short-circuiting some layout operations by setting a specific
2201 flag on ClutterActor.
2203 » Improve caching of the preferred size of a ClutterActor.
2205 » Allow declaring "internal children" for a ClutterContainer
2206 implementation: the memory management of these actors will be deferred
2207 entirely to the Container.
2209 » Let the ClutterStage honour the :opacity property and the alpha component
2210 of the stage color. This requires support in the Clutter backend used.
2212 » Improve Windows and OSX backends.
2214 » Simplify the feature detection code for OpenGL; this also reduced the
2215 required OpenGL version to 1.2.
2217 » Improve the matrix stack handling code. The matrices can be debugged by
2218 using the COGL_DEBUG environment variable, assuming that Clutter was
2219 compiled with the right configure-time switch.
2221 » Improve COGL API for draw buffers, and for offscreen buffer support.
2223 » Add support for text direction to ClutterActor.
2225 » Documentation, introspection and build fixes.
2242 Clutter 1.1.2 (23/10/2009)
2243 ===============================================================================
2245 • List of changes since Clutter 1.0
2247 » Add ClutterLayoutManager, an abstract proxy class for easily
2248 writing layout management policies; also add ClutterLayoutMeta,
2249 a class for storing layout properties.
2251 » Add ClutterBox, a generic container actor that relies on a
2252 ClutterLayoutManager instance to manage the layout of its
2255 » Add the following layout managers:
2257 - ClutterFixedLayout - a layout manager implementing the
2258 policy used by ClutterGroup
2260 - ClutterBinLayout - a layout manager for packing actors
2261 as layers inside the same area, with per-actor alignment
2263 - ClutterFlowLayout - a layout manager arranging actors as
2266 - ClutterBoxLayout - a layout manager arranging actors as
2269 » Remove the requirement for the backend-specific implementation
2270 of ClutterStage to be a ClutterActor: a Stage implementation must
2271 only implement the ClutterStageWindow interface. This cleans up
2274 » COGL source tree clean up and rationalization; COGL now
2275 knows the platform, and not only the driver (GL or GLES) so
2276 we can migrate part of the low-level backend code from Clutter
2277 to COGL where it makes sense.
2279 » Remove code duplication across whole COGL.
2281 » The GLES 2.0 driver for COGL, and the EGLX backend for Clutter
2282 have been fixed and confirmed working.
2284 » Add "dump-pick-buffer" to CLUTTER_DEBUG: this debug options
2285 dumps the contents of each pick() buffer into a PNG file, for
2288 » Allow interpolating intervals of ClutterUnits for animating
2289 unit-based properties.
2291 » Increase strictness and correctness of the ClutterUnits
2294 » Add GValue transformation functions for ClutterPath to and
2297 » Fix word movement in ClutterText; implement GObject getter for
2298 :use-markup; emit notification for :position; decouple the
2299 :text property from the :use-markup property.
2301 » Do not queue redraws or relayouts on actors currently being
2304 » Support #rrggbb and #rgb notations for ClutterColor.
2306 » Multiple bug fixes.
2308 » Provide _NET_WM_PID on the X11 stage implementation.
2310 » Documentation and Introspection annotation fixes.
2312 » Add test units for the ClutterActor size requesition.
2316 » Use AM_SILENT_RULES if Automake 1.11 is detected, and fall
2317 back to Shave on older Automake versions.
2337 Clutter 1.0.0 (28/07/2009)
2338 ===============================================================================
2340 • List of changes since 0.9.8
2342 » Allow per-stage disabling of motion event throttling; this should allow
2343 platforms or applications that require all the motion events not for
2344 drawing purposes to get them exactly like Clutter gets them from the
2347 » Various documentation fixes.
2349 » Add per-word key navigation inside ClutterText.
2351 » Fix the RGB<->HLS conversion.
2353 » Various fixes for the OSX backend.
2355 » Various build-related fixes.
2363 Clutter 0.9.8 (17/07/2009)
2364 ===============================================================================
2366 • List of changes since 0.9.6
2368 » Add more introspection annotations for language bindings.
2370 » Fix a bug in clutter_animation_set_alpha(), which also broke the
2371 clutter_actor_animate_with_alpha() function.
2373 » Check if the stage requires a relayout before showing it; this fixes
2374 a bug in the X11-based backends, especially under compositing window
2375 managers, where a 640x480 window would flicker before the default
2376 stage was shown for the first time.
2378 » Performance fixes for Cogl.
2380 » Sliced textures were broken by the COGL journalling.
2382 » Use the redraw cycle when asynchronously loading textures from
2385 » Miscellaneous compilation fixes for the OS X and Windows backends.
2387 » Allow querying from within the paint function of an Actor whether
2388 the actor is currently being directly painted or by a Clone actor.
2390 » In the GLX backend, when using the non-implicit sync-to-vblank inside
2391 glXSwapBuffers(), call glFinish() to avoid potential tearing.
2401 Clutter 0.9.6 (01/07/2009)
2402 ===============================================================================
2404 • List of changes since 0.9.4:
2406 » Allow the manipulation of the actor's transformation matrix, so that is
2407 is possible to apply additional transformations in a way that is
2408 compatible with the transformations already applied by the scene graph.
2410 » Fix a race in the X11 backend that happened between resizing the stage
2411 drawable and the call to glViewport().
2413 » Merge the cogl-journal-batching branch; this branch implements batching
2414 the geometry of the elements of the scene graph before sending it to
2415 OpenGL, thus minimizing the number of state changes and improving the
2416 overall performance of Clutter-based applications.
2418 » Add more debugging states for Clutter and COGL, which allow the developer
2419 to track the state of the journal; to check the VBO fallback paths; to
2420 disable picking for reliable profiling; to disable software-side matrix
2421 transformations in favour of the driver/GPU ones.
2423 » Improve the ability to "break out" of COGL by using gl_begin/gl_end
2424 semantics; applications that drop into raw GL are, though, ignoring all
2425 the caching performed by COGL and might incur in performance issues.
2427 » Fixed the :load-async and :load-data-async properties of Texture by
2428 removing the unneeded G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT flag.
2430 » Added an initial migration guide that shows the porting process from
2431 older releases of Clutter to the 1.0 API; the first chapter deals with
2432 the migration from ClutterEffect to the new implicit animations API.
2434 » Fixed MT-safety for the master clock.
2438 Ole André Vadla Ravnås
2441 Clutter 0.9.4 (19/06/2009)
2442 ===============================================================================
2444 • List of changes since 0.9.2:
2446 » Set the layout height in ClutterText, so that wrapping and ellipsization
2447 work correctly to fill all the allocated area.
2449 » Remove all the units-based API, and migrate all the positional and
2450 dimensional accessors to use floating point values when dealing with
2451 pixels. All the properties dealing with pixels now that a floating
2452 point value as well.
2454 » Add the ability to track wether an actor is going to be painted or not,
2455 using the "mapped" flag. This also allows Clutter to be more strict
2456 in the handling of the scenegraph, ensuring correctness and avoiding
2457 wasting resources on nodes that won't be painted.
2459 » Add debugging facilities for COGL, similar to those of Clutter; through
2460 them is also possible to have an on screen debugging mode that shows the
2461 boundaries of each rectangle sent to the GPU.
2463 » Rework "units" into real logical distance units that can be converted
2464 between millimeters, typographic points and ems into pixels.
2466 » Simplify the Animation class to avoid redundancy and the possibility
2467 of it going out of sync with the Timeline and Alpha instances it uses.
2469 » Move every operation into a single "master clock" source that advances
2470 the timelines, dispatches events and redraws the stages in a predictable
2471 sequence, thus avoiding unneeded redraws. The default is to follow the
2472 sync-to-vblank cycle, if it is supported by the drivers.
2474 » Cache the glyphs geometry into a vertex buffer object to avoid
2475 resubmitting too much information to the GPU.
2477 » Rework the behaviour of ClutterModel when a filter is applied.
2479 » Allow submitting premultiplied texture data; this removes the need
2480 for unpremultiplying data in CairoTexture.
2482 » Add a simple API for submitting blending and texture combining modes
2483 through a string description.
2485 » Move Timelines to pure time-based objects.
2487 » Lots of performance improvements.
2489 » Removal of all the deprecated API.
2491 » Removal of all the fixed point entry points.
2493 » Lots of documentation fixes - the coverage is now 99% of the exported
2494 1600 symbols for Clutter and 80%+ of the 300 exported symbols for COGL.
2496 » Generate the GObject Introspection data for both Clutter and COGL
2499 » Build environment fixes.

2778 Clutter 0.9.0 (30/01/2009)
2779 ===============================================================================
2781 • List of changes between 0.8.6 and 0.9.0
2783 » ClutterText is a new actor allowing text display, text editing
2784 both in multi-line and single-line modes, and text selection using
2785 the pointer devices and the keyboard. ClutterText supercedes both
2786 ClutterLabel and ClutterEntry.
2787 » ClutterClone is a new actor that allows cloning of other actors,
2788 both simple and composite. ClutterClone supercedes ClutterCloneTexture.
2789 » ClutterBindingPool is a new API that allows to easily add key bindings
2791 » ClutterAnimation is a new API for implicit animations, similar to
2792 the tweening API used in toolkits like jQuery, Tween and Flash. This
2793 new API supercedes the ClutterEffect API.
2794 » ClutterAlpha uses "animation modes" instead of raw function
2795 pointers; it is still possible to pass alpha functions. The alpha
2796 functions provided by Clutter have been removed from the public
2797 API. It is possible to register global alpha functions and use
2798 them though a logical id.
2799 » The interval of the ClutterAlpha:alpha property has been changed
2800 to a floating point value in the [ -1.0, 2.0 ] range; this allowed
2801 the addition of "overshooting" easing modes.
2802 » COGL now supports backface culling.
2803 » The COGL-based Pango renderer is public API and it is accessible
2804 to developers. It is also possible to access the PangoContext used
2805 by Clutter in order to create PangoLayouts to render text.
2806 » The ClutterFixed API has been moved to COGL.
2807 » COGL does not depend on Clutter data types anymore.
2808 » The ClutterMedia interface has been overhauled: implementations
2809 now must only override the interface properties. The ranges of
2810 some properties have been changed to normalized values.
2811 » COGL now exposes only floating point entry points, and reserves
2812 the eventual conversion to fixed point only when needed. The
2813 fixed point type and macros are publicly available for developers
2814 concerned about floating point operations.
2815 » COGL has a new Vertex Attribues API that allows submitting an
2816 extensible number of vertex attributes to OpenGL in a way that
2817 does not require format conversions and allows fast re-use.
2818 » COGL has a new Material API that decouples paths from fills; it
2819 is possible to create an arbitrary path and fill it with a COGL
2820 texture. The Material API also allows setting multiple texture
2821 layers and defining the blend modes and colors.
2822 » ClutterTexture has the ability to use a worker thread to asynchronously
2823 load an image from a file, as long as the GLib threading support has
2824 been enabled prior to calling clutter_init().
2825 » Clutter now supports localization of the help output, and it
2826 also supports globally setting the text direction for non left to
2828 » ClutterCairoTexture is a new actor that allows using Cairo
2829 to draw on a ClutterTexture; since Cairo does not have an OpenGL
2830 backend, the drawing is not hardware accelerated.
2831 » Clutter has a unit testing suite, based on the GLib unit test
2832 framework, which can be used to track regressions.
2833 » A ClutterPath object has been added, and it is used by the
2834 BehaviourPath. The Path object allows defining paths using a set
2835 of coordinates and operations. A Path can be "painted" either using
2836 COGL primitives or using Cairo primitives, allowing an easier way
2837 to paint non-rectangular shaped actors.
2838 » ClutterInterval is a simple object, used by ClutterAnimation, that
2839 describes an interval between two values, and interpolates between
2840 the initial and final values of the interval.

3075 Clutter 0.7.2 (23/06/2008), "Kedoke"
3076 ===============================================================================
3078 • List of changes between 0.7.0 and 0.7.2
3080 » ClutterTexture has a new :keep-aspect-ratio property; when it is set
3081 to TRUE the texture will return a preferred width maintaining the
3082 aspect ratio with the given height and a preferred height maintaining
3083 the aspect ratio with the given width. This allows to set the width or
3084 the height and have the texture automatically request the height or the
3085 width respectively while maintaining the aspect ratio of the original
3088 » Added XINPUT support on the X11 backends; this provides an initial
3089 support for multiple input devices. The API is X11-specific, and
3090 provides support for querying at run-time support for XINPUT, for
3091 getting a list of input devices and for getting the type of each

3112 Clutter 0.7.0 (13/06/2008), "Booska"
3113 ===============================================================================
3115 • List of changes between 0.6 and 0.7.0
3117 » COGL, the underlying GL abstraction layer in Clutter, has been
3118 completely rewritten from the ground up. Its no longer a conceptual
3119 hack but a documented, fully featured library pretty much in its
3120 own right. COGL abstracts over Open GL, Open GL ES 1.1 and now
3121 OpenGL ES 2.0, providing a smart uniform API over these libraries
3122 with various utility features such as texture tiling abstractions,
3123 paths and primitive rendering, FBO, shaders, etc.
3125 » Clutter now provides an experimental backend for the Apple(tm)
3126 iPhone and iPod Touch families of products.
3128 » The Windows platform is now natively supported instead of
3129 relying on the SDL libraries. The win32 backend is still
3132 » The X11 based backends now feature support for Actors that wrap
3133 external X drawables (i.e the texture-from-pixmap extension and
3136 » Clutter now seamlessly supports multiple stages on the backends
3137 that allow this feature.
3139 » The custom Pango renderer has been completely rewritten, now using
3140 the more modern and maintained PangoCairo (instead of FT2), and avoids
3141 nasty subclassing hacks, supports smooth fast scaling of text, has
3142 many edge case issues fixed and it still is very efficient (using
3143 a texture glyph cache). It is even a little bit faster.
3145 » Better texture support, timeline improvements, ClutterLabel and
3146 ClutterEntry improvements, and container child properties are among
3147 the new features - too many to fit in the NEWS file.
3151 » #358 - "window resizing doesn't show scaled stage"

3292 Clutter 0.5.4 (25/01/2008)
3293 ==========================
3295 • List of changes between 0.5.2 and 0.5.4
3297 » A clutter-x11-<major>.<minor> pkg-config file is installed along
3298 with the clutter-<major>.<minor> and clutter-<backend>-<major>.<minor>
3299 ones, for libraries and applications depending on the X11-based
3300 backends (GLX and EGLX).
3302 » Textures are correctly unrealized before changing and freeing the
3305 » It is now possible to block the automatic call to clutter_main_quit()
3306 when closing the stage window using the frame controls by connecting
3307 an handler for the ::event signal on the Clutter stage and checking
3308 for the CLUTTER_DELETE event type and returning TRUE. This allows
3309 the usage of other main loops with GLib reactors (like Python's twisted)
3310 with Clutter without triggering assertions by closing the stage window.

3331 Clutter 0.5.2 (14/01/2008)
3332 ==========================
3334 • List of changes between 0.5.0 and 0.5.2
3336 » ClutterModelDefault has been renamed to ClutterListModel
3338 » ClutterModel now has vector-based variants for append, prepend and
3339 insert methods; these methods are useful for bindings

3348 Clutter 0.5.0 (02/01/2008)
3349 ==========================
3351 • List of changes between 0.4.2 and 0.5.0
3353 » New event handling system: every actor with the CLUTTER_ACTOR_REACTIVE
3354 flag set will receive events from the underlying backend; the event
3355 propagation chain will be walked in two directions (from the actor to
3356 the top-level container and back) with the ability to block it in
3359 » ClutterShader, an abstraction over the programmable OpenGL pipeline.
3361 » ClutterScore, an object for controlling timelines; using a score
3362 instance is possible to start multiple timelines at once, or start
3363 a timeline after another has emitted the ::complete signal.
3365 » ClutterScript, an object for parsing a scene from an external file or
3366 a buffer; the scene is described using JSON (JavaScript Object Notation):
3367 every object is defined using its class and properties, and container
3368 objects can have their children defined as well. It is also possible
3369 do describe top-level objects such as timelines and behaviours, and to
3370 automatically connect signal handlers to signal names.
3372 » ClutterTimelines duration can now be set in milliseconds using the
3373 :duration property; the default framerate will be used to compute the
3374 actual duration in frames. The default framerate will be set by the
3375 backend, and can be overridden by the application.
3377 » ClutterTimelines direction can now be set using the :direction
3378 property; a timeline can be set to proceed forward or backward,
3379 and the direction can also be change while the timeline is still
3382 » New, experimental OSX backend.
3384 » Build environment for MS VisualStudio 2005.
3386 » ClutterModel, a generic list-based model object that can be used to
3387 implement actors following the Model-Viewer-Controller design pattern.
3388 Clutter provides a default implementation of ClutterModel, called
3389 ClutterModelDefault and using the GSequence data structure from GLib
3390 to optimize insertion and look up.
3392 » Add the ability to grab pointer and keyboard events: if an actor
3393 is set to have a grab it'll be the only one receiving events until
3394 it releases the grab.
3396 » Add the ability for an actor to receive the key focus; an actor
3397 with key focus will always receive the key events, even if it did
3398 not acquire the keyboard grab.
3400 » It is now possible to set the GL "fog" (also known as "depth cueing")
3401 effect on the ClutterStage; if the fog is enabled, actors farther
3402 away from the view point will fade into the stage background color.
3404 » Each actor now has an "anchor point", a point defined in the actor's
3405 coordinate space that will be used as the origin when scaling and
3406 rotation transformations.
3408 » Every pixel-based API has been doubled with a corresponding
3409 ClutterUnits-based function (postfixed with a '-u'), for instance:
3411 clutter_actor_set_position() - clutter_actor_set_positionu()
3412 clutter_actor_set_size() - clutter_actor_set_sizeu()
3413 clutter_actor_set_depth() - clutter_actor_set_depthu()
3415 This allows sub-pixel precision and device independence.
3417 » The ClutterLabel actor now tries very hard to provide a sane
3418 default size, if no bounding box has been requested; this fixes
3419 the :alignment property and allows the addition of the :justify
3422 » The SDL backend can now be compiled under win32 with MingW; this
3423 backend is still marked as experimental.
3425 » The OSX backend allows the compilation of Clutter under OS X; this
3426 backend is experimental.

3518 » ClutterEntry UTF8 fixes and improved automatic initial sizing.
3520 » Make ClutterActor GInitiallyUnowned.
3522 » New ClutterBox API: each box has now a colour and a margin (distance
3523 between the inner-border and the children); plus, each packed child
3524 has a padding. Margins and paddings are expressed in ClutterUnits,
3525 to ease the transition to the device independent units. You can use
3526 clutter_box_set_default_padding() if you want the same padding for

3574 Clutter 0.3 (29/06/2007)
3575 ========================
3577 • List of changes between 0.2.3 and 0.3
3578 » Clutter now supports both switchable windowing system and GL backends.
3579 Window systems supported include GLX, EGL and SDL.
3581 GL support includes OpenGL 1.2+ and OpenGL ES 1.1. This is
3582 provided by a small basic abstraction layer 'cogl.h'. Cogl is not
3583 yet documented - usage external to Clutter is not yet advised.
3585 Backends may provide specific command line options.
3591 The GLX backend is built by default and is currently the most
3592 developed, supported and featured windowing system backend. Only
3593 OpenGL is supported via GLX.
3597 Clutter has experimental support for using SDL. Open GL is supported as
3598 is OpenGL ES via Dogles (very experimental).
3602 Clutter has experimental support for using EGL. Only Open GL ES
3603 is supported by EGL.
3605 EGL support assumes an EGL implementation running atop X Windows.
3610 Clutter now has experimental support for Open GL ES.
3611 Current known issues;
3613 + Unrealising a ClutterTexture will not move pixel data from video
3614 into system memory but simply destroy it.
3615 + BGRA, YUV Texture data not currently supported.
3617 (Use the clutter_feature API to probe for above at runtime)
3619 Open Source ES implementations this has been tested against
3620 include `Vincent' and `dgles'. Support for commerical
3621 implementations may require modifications to the configure.ac

3625 (Also see: http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/misc/trunk/ogles/ )
3627 dgles: http://developer.hybrid.fi/dgles/index.html
3629 » New ClutterEffect class provides a simplified (and thus less flexible)
3630 API wrapping around behaviours, alphas and timelines.
3631 » New Behaviours - bspline, ellipsis, rotation.
3632 » New built in Alpha functions;
3633 CLUTTER_ALPHA_SINE_INC
3634 CLUTTER_ALPHA_SINE_DEC
3635 CLUTTER_ALPHA_SINE_HALF
3636 CLUTTER_ALPHA_SQUARE

3643 + ClutterContainer, for generic container actors
3644 + ClutterBox, ClutterVBox and ClutterHBox layout actors.
3645 + ClutterEntry, text entry actor
3646 » ClutterTexture now handles BGRA, YUV and premultiplied alpha data.
3647 » All internal math now fixed point based.
3648 » Clutter now has it own internal event queue.
3649 » ClutterStage new features;
3650 + Title property for naming in window decorations.
3651 + Perspective setting - The stages perspective can now be modified.
3652 » New Clutter_actor •project API calls allow for querying of tranformed
3653 actor vertices and points.
3654 » New Clutter Feature checks.
3655 » Initial ClutterUnit implementation for device independant positioning.
3656 • List of Bugs fixed

3689 Clutter 0.2 (18-01-2007)
3690 ========================
3692 • List of changes between 0.2 and 0.1
3693 » Bindings, GStreamer and GTK+ dependencies moved out of tree:
3694 now Clutter strictly depends on Xlibs, OpenGL and GdkPixbuf only.
3695 » Actors now have an initial floating reference; this means you
3696 don't have to explicitely unref them: every memory an actor
3697 allocates will be freed when the group containing the actor will
3699 » Add basic run-time detection of GL features.
3700 + Use GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB if available.
3701 + Attempt to set up sync to vblank (set CLUTTER_VBLANK=none to disable)
3702 » Add API for behaviours. A ClutterBehaviour is an object which
3703 drives a set of actors using one or more properties depending
3704 on the value of an "alpha" function.
3705 + Provide simple behaviours: ClutterBehaviourOpacity,
3706 ClutterBehaviourPath and ClutterBehaviourScale.
3707 + Provide simple alpha functions for ramps and sine waveforms.
3708 » Add fixed point API for embedded platforms with no FPU.
3709 » Add support for command line switches to Clutter, like debug
3710 flags and abort on warnings; also allow application to hook up
3711 into the initialisation sequence to add their own command line
3713 » Add Pango GL renderer for Clutter, and use it to render text
3714 inside the ClutterLabel actor; this decrease texture memory
3716 » Redo Clutter Label widget, using the new Pango renderer.
3717 » Clutter Textures do not store local pixbuf copy (of texture).
3718 » Redo group and actor scale/sizing API and functionality.
3719 » Add memory management API for ClutterColor, and string parsing.
