  • List of changes since Clutter 1.20.0

    - Improve input device handling
    Both on the evdev input backend, and the XInput2 backend for X11.

    - Allow content implementations to drive actors preferred size
    If a ClutterActor is only used to paint a ClutterContent implementation,
    it should be possible to allow the actor to have the same preferred size
    of its content. We use a ClutterRequestMode to specify this behaviour.
