Clutter 1.21.4                                                       2015-01-22
===============================================================================

  • List of changes since Clutter 1.21.2

    - Use the GDK backend by default when possible
    Instead of using the X11 or the Wayland backend by default, Clutter now
    uses the GDK backend for both input and output. This improves the
    integration with the windowing system. Backends can still be selected
    programmatically, or via environment variables. On Windows and MacOS, we
    still prefer the native backend, if available, because of asymmetries in
    the GDK API.

    - Use libinput 0.8
    For the evdev input backend, the dependency for libinput has been bumped
    to the newly released 0.8, which improves wheel and scroll events.

    - Allow access to vendor and product ID for input devices

    - Allow ClutterConstraint implementations to change the preferred size
    ClutterConstraint classes can now update an actor's preferred size,
    along with its allocation; this means that querying the preferred size
    of actors using constraints will take constraints into consideration, and
    improves the integration of constraints inside the layout system.

    - Improve the GDK backend
    Properly support high DPI displays, as well as Wayland.

    - Updated translations
    Czech, Basque, Spanish, Hungarian.
