Clutter 1.11.8                                                       2012-07-16
===============================================================================

  • List of changes since Clutter 1.11.6

    - Bump the dependency of ATK
    Use the newly released 2.5.3 to rely on the generci event listeners
    that have been added to ATK; this avoids reimplementing our own.

    - Ensure validity of iterators
    Even when they are copied.

    - Rounding error fixes for allocations
    Constraints and other code adjusting the allocation of an actor should
    round the origin and size of the ClutterActorBox in a consistent way.

    - Updates for the VisualStudio build files

    - Add ClutterDragAction::drag-progress
    The ::drag-progress signal allows controlling the emission of the
    ::drag-motion signal. Overriding the default behaviour of a DragAction
    is now possible without calling g_signal_stop_emission_by_name().

    - Add ClutterActor:pivot-point
    The pivot point of ClutterActor provides a center, in normalized
    coordinate space, for the transformations of an actor (scaling, rotation,
    translation).

    - Deprecations
    ClutterText:position has been deprecated by ClutterText:cursor-position,
    for consistency with other ClutterText properties, as well as to avoid
    shadowing the ClutterActor:position property. ClutterActor:depth has
    been deprecated by ClutterActor:z-position. ClutterTexture has been
    deprecated in favour of ClutterImage. ClutterActor:anchor-[xy] and the
    transformation centers for rotation and scaling have been deprecated
    in favour of the ClutterActor:pivot-point. The clutter_threads_enter()
    and clutter_threads_leave() functions have been deprecated.

    - Removal of the experimental ClutterLayoutManager easing state API
    The easing state API for ClutterLayoutManager was added in 1.11.2, but
    with the introduction of a default easing state for ClutterActor it is
    now redundant and not necessary; to animate the allocation of an actor
    during layout it's simply necessary to set its easing state. All layout
    managers provided by Clutter have been updated.
