Clutter 1.9.4 2012-01-17 =============================================================================== • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.2 - New scene graph API in ClutterActor ClutterActor now provides the API for adding, removing, and iterating over the list of children; this deprecates most of the ClutterContainer API. ClutterActor implements ClutterContainer as well, which means that all actors can be containers. - Layout management updates ClutterActor now have an horizontal and vertical alignment properties that will be used when added to a parent; a margin has also been added to the ClutterActor class. Both margin and alignment will be automatically managed during the allocation, so they will work out of the box. It is also possible to set a ClutterLayoutManager delegate object on any ClutterActor instance: the LayoutManager will take care of the layout policy for the children of an actor. - Add ClutterTextBuffer The ClutterTextBuffer class provides a storage for the contents of a ClutterText actor; the same instance can be shared across different actors as well. The main use for ClutterTextBuffer is implementing secure memory storage for the contents of a ClutterText in password mode. - Deprecations ClutterGroup, ClutterBox, and ClutterRectangle have been deprecated; their functionality is now available directly in ClutterActor. The old child actor management API in ClutterActor and ClutterContainer has been deprecated as well. Other deprecations include the ClutterStage fog-related properties and API; the ClutterContainer.sort_depth_order(), raise(), and lower() virtual functions; the internal child push and pop methods on ClutterActor. - ClutterTimeline can parse markers from ClutterScript Markers can now be defined inside ClutterScript, and a ClutterTimeline will be able to automatically add them from a UI definition. - Add a diagnostic mode Similar to the GLib diagnostic mode, Clutter now supports an environment variable that will print out diagnostic messages for deprecations and warnings that can only be detected at run-time. - Wayland backend updates The wayland backend now tracks the latest API changes in the client API, and Clutter now provides a Wayland surface actor that allows to write Wayland compositors, similarly to the X11TexturePixmap actor for the X11 backend. • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.9.2 [bugzilla.gnome.org] #665040 - The offscreen effect always recreates the texture if create_texture() is overridden to change the size #665052 - The internal effects should queue a repaint on the effect not on the actor when a property changes #664996 - clutter_state_set_key (allow-none) #664336 - path: Fix introspection annotations #664252 - in case GLSL shader fails to compile clutter-shader-effect.c should print out position in source code #664582 - lookingGlass: Fix global key press handler #660997 - Make _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip or an equivalent public Many thanks to: Chun-wei Fan, Robert Bragg, Rob Bradford, Neil Roberts, Bastian Winkler, Fran Diéguez, Jasper St. Pierre, Matej Urbančič, Piotr Drąg, Alexander Shopov, Bastien Nocera, Daniel Mustieles, Jeremy Moles, Jovan Naumovski, Kjartan Maraas, Lucian Adrian Grijincu, Manuel Osdoba, Ryan Lortie
