Re: Merging wip/clutter-1.99 in master

[Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi gmail com>]

hi all;

a bit later than I expected, but I merged the wip/clutter-1.99 branch
into master — master is now open for the 1.99 development cycle, which
will lead to Clutter 2.0.

I also pushed the clutter-1.16 branch, which I expect is what will be
used for GNOME 3.10.

have fun!
