Notes
-----

    o This is the fourth stable release of the 1.0.x cycle.

    o This version is parallel installable with Clutter 0.8.

    o Installing this version will overwrite the files from the
      installation of a git clone of the current development
      branch.

    o Bugs should be reported to: http://bugzilla.o-hand.com

What's new in Clutter 1.0.6
---------------------------

    o Various documentation improvements including a new ClutterPath migration
      guide, a Glossary and objects index

    o A couple of new unit tests for: initial actor sizing, preferred actor
      size and ClutterGroup depth sorting

    o Fix ClutterGroup depth sorting

    o Fix double to float type conversions in ClutterScript and update
      test-script.json so it doesn't refer to old Actor types such as
      ClutterLabel.

    o Do not attempt to free empty ClutterModel column names

    o Fix the BlendString parser so numbers can be part of function names
      allowing use of DOT3_RGB

    o Fix the parsing of special "signal-" property names available when
      using the ClutterAnimation vararg API

    o Adds a "use-markup" property getter for ClutterText

    o Account for clock roll backs between frames so timelines don't simply
      hang

    o Disable mipmap filters before checking framebuffer object completeness
      since some drivers consider texture objects incomplete if a mipmap
      filter is set but the mipmap data hasn't yet been uploaded.

    o Various Makefile fixes, including fixes for the %.c: %.glsl codegen rules
      for GLES2, use AM_SILENT_RULES for automake > 1.11, use a shared set of
      defines for silencing make rules (Makefile.am.silent) and cleanup some
      misuse of CLUTTER_MAJORMINOR.

    o Fix cogl_clear so the alpha component isn't ignored

    o Fix for the GLES 2.0 Cogl backend and the eglx Clutter backend
