Gnome Games 2.25.1 with more awesome.

DISTRIBUTORS PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

gnome-games 2.25.1
==================

This is the first 2.26 development release.

A huge amount of kudos should go out to Neil for his work on clutter and Thomas
for his work on killing off libgnome.

** ATTENTION **

Gnome Games now optionally depends on clutter. We have run some preliminary
testing of clutter rendering on Intel, NVidia and ATI hardware and are
satisfied with the hardware accelerated state of things with regard those
specific hardware use cases. However, a wide range of graphics hardware still--
in 2008--doesn't have OpenGL acceleration. We have tested software-based
rendering with Mesa 7.2 and clutter and found it a little lacking, even on a
modern CPU.

Therefore, at this time, we recommend that clutter only be enabled by default
by distributors that ensure that OpenGL acceleration is working for hardware
from the three major vendors: Intel, NVidia and ATI.

We hope that in the future, low-hanging fruit in the Mesa software rendering
pipeline can be fixed enabling even software-fallback to work optimally for the
subset of OpenGL functions needed for rendering a clutter stage.
