  - This version is API and ABI compatible with the current stable
    release of Clutter.

  • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.6

    - Fix regressions in users of deprecated API
    Also, allow to mix the new Actor API with the old Container API without
    breaking.

    - Add GResource support in ClutterScript
    GResource is a new infrastructure in GIO that allows to compile resources
    like UI builder files and image data into a shared library or an
    executable. A newly added method to ClutterScript makes it possible to
    load a UI definition from a resource, like it's done for files and
    data.

    - Update the Wayland client backend
    The SHM transport API has changed upstream, and the Clutter backend has
    been updated to reflect it.

Many thanks to:

  Rob Bradford, Fran Diéguez


Have fun with Clutter!

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
