  • List of changes since Clutter 1.11.8

    - Add support for multiple touch points in GestureAction
    GestureAction subclasses can now define the number of touch points they
    require in order to start recognising a gesture.

    - Add a RotateAction
    A GestureAction subclass that requires two touch points to rotate the
    actor to which it has been applied.

    - Generate crossing events for touch devices

    - Respect ClutterStage.set_motion_events_enabled() for touch events

    - Fix a regression in discrete scroll events emission
    When using XInput 2, the scroll events generated through buttons (e.g.
    mouse wheel) should only be emitted on ButtonPress, to match the semantics
    of the X11 core device handling.

    - Add progress functions defined in CSS3-Transitions
    The CSS3 Transitions specification defines various timing functions:

      steps                     cubic-bezier
      step-start                ease
      step-end                  ease-in
                                ease-out
                                ease-in-out

    These are now available to be used with ClutterTimeline.

    - Add ClutterActor::transition-stopped
    The ::transition-stopped signal is emitted each time a Transition
    associated to an actor is stopped (using the same sematincs as the
    ClutterTimeline::stopped signal); it is also a detailed signal, so that
    it's possible to connect a handler for a specific Transition name.

    - Add ClutterActor.transform
    The :transform property allows overriding all the decomposed
    transformations of an actor, like scale and rotate; the transformation
    is applied relative to the actor's allocated origin and pivot point.

    - Documentation and build fixes

    - Translations update
     Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), Spanish, Galician,
     Serbian, Greek.
