It should be possible to set up the delay of a transition, but since
we start the Transition instance before returning control to the caller,
we cannot use clutter_actor_get_transition() to do it without something
extra-awkward, like:
transition = clutter_actor_get_transition (actor, "width");
clutter_timeline_stop (transition);
clutter_timeline_set_delay (transition, 1000);
clutter_timeline_start (transition);
for each property involved. It's much easier to add a delay to the
easing state of an actor.
The ClutterBrightnessContrastEffect effect class allows changing the
brightness and contrast levels of an actor.

It is sometimes useful to be able to have better control on when a
repaint function is called. Currently, all repaint functions are called
prior to the stages update phase of the frame processing.
We can introduce flags to represent the point in the frame update
process in which we wish Clutter called the repaint function.
As a bonus, we can also add a flag that causes adding a repaint function
to spin the master clock.
This adds a virtual function to ClutterInputDevice to translate a
keycode from the hardware_keycode member of ClutterKeyEvent to an
evdev keycode. The function can fail so that input backends that don't
have a sensible way to translate to evdev keycodes can return FALSE.
There are implementations for evdev, wayland and X. The X
implementation assumes that the X server is using an evdev driver in
which case the hardware keycodes are the evdev codes plus 8.

Now that ClutterActor has a default paint volume, subclasses may wish
to retrieve it without chaining up to the parent's implementation of
the get_paint_volume() function.
The get_default_paint_volume() returns a ClutterPaintVolume pointer
to the paint volume as computed by the default implementation of the
get_paint_volume() virtual function; it can only be used immediately,
as it's not guaranteed to survive across multiple frames.
Creating PaintVolume instances is not possible, and it's not recommended
anyway. It is, though, necessary to union paint volumes, especially with
2D boxes, in some cases.
Clutter should provide a simple convenience function that allows
unioning volumes to boxes in a moderately efficient way.

Sometimes a subclass of ClutterOffscreenEffect wants to paint with a
completely custom material. In that case it is awkward to modify the
material returned owned by ClutterOffscreenEffect so it makes more
sense to just get the texture and manage its own material.

There are times when we don't want to remove all children and count of
the reference count to drop to 0 to ensure destruction; there are cases,
such as managed environments, where it's preferable to ensure that the
children of an actor get actually destroyed.
Being able to easily set the number of repeats has been a request for
the animation framework for some time now. The usual way to implement
this is: connect to the ::completed signal, use a static counter, and
stop the timeline when the counter hits a specific spot.
In the same light as the :auto-reverse property, we can make it easier
to implement this common functionality by adding a :repeat-count
property that, when set, limits the amount of loops that a Timeline can
perform before stopping itself.
In fact, we can implement the :loop property in terms of the
:repeat-count property just by using a sentinel value mapping to
"infinity", and map loop=FALSE to repeat-count=0, and loop=TRUE to
repeat-count=-1.
The reverse of position_to_coords().
While providing documentation on how to implement it using the
PangoLayout API, I realized that the verbosity of it all, plus the usage
of the Pango API, was not worth it, and decided to expose the method we
are using internally.
Iterating over children and ancestors of an actor is a relatively common
operation. Currently, you only have one option: start a for() loop, get
the first child of the actor, and advance to the next sibling for the
list of children; or start a for() loop and advance to the parent of the
actor.
These operations can be easily done through the ClutterActor API, but
they all require going through the public API, and performing multiple
type checks on the arguments.
Along with the DOM API, it would be nice to have an ancillary, utility
API that uses an iterator structure to hold the state, and can be
advanced in a loop.

Given the size and scope of the changes in ClutterActor, we ought to
rewrite the overall description of what an actor is, what it does, and
how are you supposed to use it and subclass it.
This adds a --enable-wayland-compositor configure option which will add
support for a ClutterWaylandSurface actor which can be used to aid in
writing Wayland compositors using Clutter by providing a ClutterActor to
represent Wayland client surfaces.
Notably this configure option isn't tied into any particular backend
since conceptually the compositor support can be used in conjunction
with any clutter backend that has corresponding Cogl support.

This updates Wayland support in line with upstream changes to the Wayland
API and protocol.
This update means we no longer use the Cogl stub winsys so a lot of code
that had to manually interact with EGL and implement a swap_buffers
mechanism could be removed and instead we now depend on Cogl to handle
those things for us.
This update also adds an input device manager consistent with other
clutter backends.
Note: to use the client side "wayland" clutter backend you need to have
built Cogl with --enable-wayland-egl-platform. If Cogl has been built
with support for multiple winsys backends then you should run
applications with COGL_RENDERER=EGL in the environment.

Keeping the backing Cairo surface of a CairoTexture canvas in sync with
the actor's allocation is tedious and prone to mistakes. We can
definitely do better by simply exposing a property that does the surface
resize and invalidation automagically on ::allocate.
The current "create context/draw/destroy context" pattern presents
various problems. The first issue is that it defers memory management to
the caller of the create() or create_region() methods, which makes
bookkeeping of the cairo_t* harder for language bindings and third party
libraries. The second issue is that, while it's easier for
draw-and-forget texturs, this API is needlessly complicated for contents
that have to change programmatically - and it introduces constraints
like calling the drawing code explicitly after a surface resize (e.g.
inside an allocate() implementation).
By using a signal-based approach we can make the CairoTexture actor
behave like other actors, and like other libraries using Cairo as their
2D drawing API.
The semantics of the newly-introduced ::draw signal are the same as the
one used by GTK+:
- the signal is emitted on invalidation;
- the cairo_t* context is owned by the actor;
- it is safe to have multiple callbacks attached to the same
signal, to allow composition;
- the cairo_t* is already clipped to the invalidated area, so
that Cairo can discard geometry immediately before we upload
the texture data.
There are possible future improvements, like coalescing multiple
invalidations inside regions, and performing clipped draws during
the paint cycle; we could even perform clipped redraws if we know the
extent of the invalidated area.
This adds a public function to get the bounds of the current clipped
redraw on a stage. This should only be called while the stage is being
painted. The function diverts to a virtual function on the
ClutterStageWindow implementation. If the function isn't implemented
or it returns FALSE then the entire stage is reported. The clip bounds
are in integer pixel coordinates in the stage's coordinate space.

This adds a virtual to ClutterActor so that an actor subclass can
report whether it has overlapping primitives. ClutterActor uses this
to determine whether it needs to use ClutterFlattenEffect to implement
the opacity property. The default implementation of the virtual
returns TRUE which means that most actors will end up being redirected
offscreen when the opacity != 255. ClutterTexture and ClutterRectangle
override this to return FALSE because they should never need to be
redirected. ClutterClone overrides it to divert to the source.
The values for the ClutterOffscreenRedirect enum have changed to:
AUTOMATIC_FOR_OPACITY
The actor will only be redirected if has_overlaps returns TRUE and
the opacity is < 255
ALWAYS_FOR_OPACITY
The actor will always be redirected if the opacity < 255 regardless
of the return value of has_overlaps
ALWAYS
The actor will always be redirected offscreen.
This means that the property can't be used to prevent the actor from
being redirected but only to increase the likelihood that it will be
redirected.
ClutterActor now adds and removes the flatten effect depending on
whether flattening is needed directly in clutter_actor_paint(). There
are new internal versions of add/remove_effect that don't queue a
redraw. This means that ClutterFlattenEffect is now just a no-op
subclass of ClutterOffscreen. It is only needed because
ClutterOffscreen is abstract. Removing the effect also makes it so
that the cached image will be freed as soon as an actor is repainted
without being flattened.
This adds a property which can be used to redirect the actor through
an FBO before painting so that it becomes flattened in an image. The
image can be used as a cache to avoid having to repaint the actor if
something unrelated in the scene changes. It can also be used to
implement correct opacity even if the actor has overlapping
primitives. The property is an enum that takes three values:
CLUTTER_OFFSCREEN_REDIRECT_NEVER: The default behaviour which is to
never flatten the actor.
CLUTTER_OFFSCREEN_REDIRECT_ALWAYS: The actor is always redirected
through an FBO.
CLUTTER_OFFSCREEN_REDIRECT_ONLY_FOR_OPACITY: The actor is only
redirected through an FBO if the paint opacity is not 255. This
value would be used if the actor wants correct opacity. It will
avoid the overhead of using an FBO whenever the actor is fully
opaque.
The property is implemented by installing a ClutterFlattenEffect.
ClutterFlattenEffect is a new internal class which subclasses
ClutterOffscreen to redirect the painting to an FBO. When
ClutterOffscreen paints, the effect sets an opacity override on the
actor so that the image will always contain the actor at full
opacity. The opacity is then applied to the resulting image before
painting it to the stage. This means the actor does not need to be
redrawn while the opacity is being animated.
The effect has a high internal priority so that it will always occur
before any other effects and it gets hidden from the application.
