clutter 1.9.2

About Clutter
=============

Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast,
portable, compelling and dynamic graphical user interfaces. Clutter
uses OpenGL (and optionally OpenGL|ES for use on Mobile and embedded
platforms) for rendering, but with an API which hides the underlying
GL complexity from the developer. The Clutter API is intended to be
easy to use, efficient and flexible.

  • List of changes since Clutter 1.8

    - Multi-backend build, and run-time backend selection
    Clutter can be built with support for multiple backends in the same
    shared library; the backend singleton is determined at run-time,
    either with the default backend for the platform, or using the value
    of the CLUTTER_BACKEND environment variable.

    - GDK windowing system backend
    A new backend has been added, which uses the GDK API for creating the
    drawing surface, as well as receiving the windowing system and input
    events.

    - Show a hint when ClutterText is in password mode
    If the password-hint-time ClutterSettings property is set to a non
    zero value, the last character entered inside a ClutterText actor when
    in password mode will be shown in plain for the duration of the timeout,
    before being replaced by the glyph chosen as the password character.

    - Improve Windows build support
    Clutter now provides project files to build the library using Visual
    Studio 9 and Visual Studio 10. Also, the scripts to build Clutter using
    MinGW have been improved.

    - Remove the requirement for using clutter_threads_init()
    Threads are initialized by default (depending on the platform), so there
    is no need to call clutter_threads_init().

    - Deprecate the default ClutterStage
    The semantics of the default Stage were not obvious, and had the tendency
    to confuse the user.

    - Move the deprecated headers into their own directory
    This should help developers identify the deprecated API.

    - Change deprecation policy
    Deprecated functions are now marked using compiler annotations, instead
    of being forcibly disabled through pre-processor directives from the
    headers. Deprecations will cause compiler warnings, and thus are enabled
    by default. If you're building your project with compiler flags that
    consider every warning a fatal error, you can use the symbol
    CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS to disable the deprecation warnings.

    - Translation updates
    Portuguese, Assamese, Punjabi, Tamil, Oriya, Telugu, French, German,
    Danish, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), Catalan, Esperanto,
    Lithuanian, Galician, Norwegian bokmål, Slovenian, Hebrew, Bulgarian.
