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.
