    - Make sure that setting :use-markup does not depend on the order
    Setting the :use-markup property should yield the same results regardless
    of whether the :text property is also set before or after. This applies to
    ClutterText defined using ClutterScript as well.

    - Protect against multiple unrealize call on ClutterStage
    This should fix a segmentation fault in clutter-gtk when unrealize() is
    called multiple times on an already unrealized stage.

    - Fortify ATK event listener
    Make sure that we subscribe only to the events we want to, and avoid
    warnings caused by AT-SPI, as well as a leak.

    - Documentation fixes

    - Translation updates
    Indonesian, British English, Brazilian Portuguese, Oriya, Polish,
    Latvian, Hindi, Danish, Chinese (Simplified), Lithuanian, Turkish,
    Russian, Spanish, Asturian.
