+  <title>Clutter</title>
+
+  <list>
+    <item><p>
+Added <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/1.12/ClutterScrollActor.html";>ClutterScrollActor</link>, an actor that allows displaying large children, and scrolling the viewport to specific points (with or without implicit animation)
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+Added new multi-touch gesture actions, like <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/1.12/ClutterZoomAction.html";>ClutterZoomAction</link>, <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/1.12/ClutterPanAction.html";>ClutterPanAction</link>, and <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/1.12/ClutterRotateAction.html";>ClutterRotateAction</link>, as well as many fixes for multi-touch support on X11
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+Provides more implicitly animatable properties, as well as <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/1.12/ClutterTransitionGroup.html";>ClutterTransitionGroup</link> (to group explicit transitions together) and <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/1.12/ClutterKeyframeTransition.html";>ClutterKeyframeTransition</link> (to describe a transition using key frames)
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+Added <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/1.12/ClutterGridLayout.html";>ClutterGridLayout</link>, a layout manager that provides the same layout policy of <link href="developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.6/GtkGrid.html">GtkGrid</link>
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+Layout managers now respect the easing state of the actors, so it's possible to easily animate layout transitions without requiring specific code inside ClutterLayoutManager implementations;
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+Added new easing modes defined by the CSS3 Transitions specification: steps, cubic-bezier, step-start, step-end, ease, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out.
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+API deprecations: ClutterMedia (the API is provided by Clutter-GStreamer); ClutterTexture (replaced by ClutterImage); ClutterCairoTexture (replaced by ClutterCanvas); ClutterAnimation, ClutterAnimator, ClutterState (replaced by implicit and explicit animations). 
+    </p></item>

+<p>XXX: TODO</p>
+
+  <list>
+    <item><p>
+    Several applications (such as TODO: XXX) now use <app>GSettings</app> as their storage backend instead of deprecated <app>GConf</app>.
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+    TODO: XXX received <app>GObject</app> introspection support which makes the API of those modules automatically available to a wide variety of other programming languages and runtimes. On a related note, gevice was converted from using static deprecated Python bindings to using introspection.
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+    Several packages (such as TODO: XXX) have been converted from <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.34/ch31.html";>using <app>dbus-glib</app> to GDBus</link> and from <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.6/gtk-migrating-unique-GtkApplication.html";><app>libunique</app> to G(tk)Application</link>.

+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+    Many packages migrated from <app>GStreamer</app> 0.10 to <app>GStreamer</app> 1.0: TODO: XXX
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+    Many packages migrated from using <app>gnome-doc-utils</app> to <app>yelp-tools</app>.
