      specifications.

    » Avoid state corruption in relayout cycles.

    » Do not crash when destroying actors during CLUTTER_LEAVE events.

    » Remove signal handlers when disposing constraints.

    » Keep the pixel alignment for ClutterAlignConstraint.

    » Do not release compiled ClutterShader during their finalization to
      avoid a warning.

    » Revert an ABI break on the ClutterContainer pre-requisites.

    » Fix the name of the cogl_normal_in attribute.

    » Do not assume CoglBitmaps are allocated to height * rowstride.

    » Fix the core device list creation on X11.

    » Avoid enabling blending in the Cogl journal, if possible.

    » Documentation fixes.

    » Build fixes for mixed autotools version environment.

    » Improve the performance of getting the number of rows of a
      ClutterListModel.

    » Don't use obsolete API internally.
