  • List of changes since Clutter 1.14.2

    - Fix GestureAction handling of multi-touch gestures

    - Add a paint callback for Stage updates
    This experimental API allows installing a notification function on
    ClutterStage that is called when the stage has finished drawing, but
    before the frame buffer is flushed. This function replaces the ::paint
    signal on the ClutterStage in a way that does not disable paint volume
    culling and optimizations.

    - Improve scaling behaviour in ZoomAction
    Instead of recomputing the scaling center, the action should use the
    pivot-point of the ClutterActor.

    - Documentation fixes
