From cdd5f6142c767f76cd8a70274eda203b1a5a35b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emmanuele Bassi Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:20:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update NEWS file --- NEWS | 96 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 96 insertions(+) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 6a8e07718..227aa775a 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -1,3 +1,99 @@ +Clutter 1.9.2 2011-11-22 +=============================================================================== + + • List of changes since Clutter 1.8 + + - Multi-backend build, and run-time backend selection + Clutter can be built with support for multiple backends in the same + shared library; the backend singleton is determined at run-time, + either with the default backend for the platform, or using the value + of the CLUTTER_BACKEND environment variable. + + - GDK windowing system backend + A new backend has been added, which uses the GDK API for creating the + drawing surface, as well as receiving the windowing system and input + events. + + - Show a hint when ClutterText is in password mode + If the password-hint-time ClutterSettings property is set to a non + zero value, the last character entered inside a ClutterText actor when + in password mode will be shown in plain for the duration of the timeout, + before being replaced by the glyph chosen as the password character. + + - Improve Windows build support + Clutter now provides project files to build the library using Visual + Studio 9 and Visual Studio 10. Also, the scripts to build Clutter using + MinGW have been improved. + + - Remove the requirement for using clutter_threads_init() + Threads are initialized by default (depending on the platform), so there + is no need to call clutter_threads_init(). + + - Deprecate the default ClutterStage + The semantics of the default Stage were not obvious, and had the tendency + to confuse the user. + + - Move the deprecated headers into their own directory + This should help developers identify the deprecated API. + + - Change deprecation policy + Deprecated functions are now marked using compiler annotations, instead + of being forcibly disabled through pre-processor directives from the + headers. Deprecations will cause compiler warnings, and thus are enabled + by default. If you're building your project with compiler flags that + consider every warning a fatal error, you can use the symbol + CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS to disable the deprecation warnings. + + - Translation updates + Portuguese, Assamese, Punjabi, Tamil, Oriya, Telugu, French, German, + Danish, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), Catalan, Esperanto, + Lithuanian, Galician, Norwegian bokmål, Slovenian, Hebrew, Bulgarian. + + • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.8 + + 652588 - add support for password hint in ClutterText + 659625 - mingw32: Update the build script to compile 1.8.0 + 659601 - offscreen effects on children of containers also with an + offscreen effect get a wrong viewport + 659928 - Two strings are not marked as translatable + 659893 - clutter-main: Reword translator comment for default:LTR + 656663 - Remove internal usage of ClutterGeometry in StageWindow + 660354 - Add paint-deform-tiles option to CLUTTER_DEBUG + 660471 - ClutterActor: Add clutter_actor_has_effects + 660512 - ClutterShaderEffect recompiles the shader for every instance + 660623 - clutter-actor-meta: Fix _clutter_meta_group_has_metas_no_internal + 660985 - memory leak in clutter_box_layout.c + 661015 - Add clutter_unicode_to_keyval function + 660786 - Deprecate clutter_[sg]et_font_flags() + 661887 - auto-resize of ClutterCairoTexture does not work correctly + 657434 - Add a GDK backend to Clutter + 663332 - orca reads my password in gnome-shell policykit dialogs + 663594 - Minor whitespace parsing bug in clutter_color_from_string + 663733 - clutter-stage-x11: Make sure to set geometry x and y + 651718 - Make tests work on platforms supporting only a single stage + 663999 - The removal of per-backend CLUTTER_VBLANK envvar had unwanted + cruft in the Win32 backend + 663720 - DeformEffect: Avoid redrawing actors on vertices invalidation + 663636 - Use newer Cogl API in ClutterDeformEffect + +Special thanks to + + Chun-wei Fan, for building, testing, and keeping up to date the Visual + Studio project files. + +Many thanks to: + + Neil Roberts, Rico Tzschichholz, Robert Bragg, Adel Gadllah, + Lionel Landwerlin, Alexandre Franke, Colin Walters, Daniel Mustieles, + Giovanni Campagna, Piotr Drąg, krishnababu k, A S Alam, Alexander Shopov, + Algimantas Margevičius, Ask H.
