About Mutter
============

Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine
using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited
from the Metacity window manager.

While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be
used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell or
MeeGo. For this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which
are used both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window
management behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

Changes since 2.29.1
====================
* Theme enhancements [Owen]
  - Add a flexible version mechanism for themes -
    metacity-theme-3.xml is now supported, and can include
    version="> 3.2" type attributes on the root element or
    any subelement.
  - Add frame_x_center/frame_y_center variables
  - Allow a theme to turn on title ellipsization
* Performance enhancements:
  - Stream raw damage updates to ClutterX11TexturePixmap
    to enable partial stage updates when windos change [Robert]
  - Don't trap XErrors in meta_compositor_process_event [Adel]
* Add meta_prefs_override_preference_location(); this allows
  a plugin like GNOME Shell to redirect preferences to a
  plugin-specific location. [Owen]
* Support a _MUTTER_HINTS window property; this is a string
  property holding key-value pairs with plugin-specific
  interpretation [Tomas]
* Build with GSEAL_ENABLE [Florian, Javier]
* Add meta_display_get_leader_window() [Tomas]
* Add meta_display_sort_windows_by_stacking [Colin]
