  • List of changes since Clutter 1.13.6

    - Use ClutterActor:child-transform with ClutterScrollActor
    The ScrollActor class now uses the :child-transform property to translate
    its children when scrolling. This simplifies the code, and makes it more
    robust with regards to clipped redraws.

    - Add progress-based marker API to ClutterTimeline
    Allow adding a marker to a Timeline instance using the normalized progress
    value between the beginning and the end of the timeline's duration.

    - Allow building Wayland compositor and client support together
    Instead of having to require two separate builds.

    - Documentation fixes

    - Translations update
    Czech, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), German.

  • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.13.6

    #694267 - The search entry no longer reacts to layout switches
    #692851 - wayland backend & compositor support can't be built together
    #694319 - Add progress-based marker API to ClutterTimeline
