Clutter out of tree depends on Cogl's required dependencies via the
pkg-config file. Since Clutter and Cogl moved in tree, it means that
those dependencies need to be checked by Clutter itself, otherwise
headers and libraries won't be found.
ClutterActor should warn if a user tries to add or remove an actor to,
and from, itself on the scene graph.
Clutter will likely crash, or warn way down the line, but if we can make
debugging simpler then we should.
For the GDK backend We're using the GdkDeviceManager API, which maps to
Clutter's own device manager API. GDK has now moved to a per-seat device
management model, and deprecated the device manager singleton one.
In order to avoid the deprecation warnings, we'd have to implement a
model similar to the GDK one inside the generic Clutter API, but that
would also require moving all the others backend to it, which is pretty
pointless.
Instead, we can disable deprecation warnings for the
ClutterDeviceManager implementation inside the GDK backend.
This updates config.h.win32.in to be in-sync with the entries that are in
the config.h.in that is generated by the autotools builds. In particular,
for Visual Studio builds, we default to enable all available drivers ("*").
The function should return true not only if the actor is being painted
by a ClutterClone, but also if it's inside a sub-graph being painted by
a ClutterClone.

The constrain callback cannot rely on the pointer position of the
corresponding ClutterInputDevice to get the actual delta of the motion
event that is to be constrained since it is only updated when an event is
dispatched. So change the API to pass the previous pointer position when
constraining.

Compositors need more detailed information about motion events. Make it
possible to retrieve this information when running the evdev backend by
adding the information to the backend specific event struct.

Since commit 6183eb3632 we disabled swap
throttling in favour of being driven by the GDK frame clock (and thus by
the compositor).
Compositors may decide to unredirect full screen windows to avoid the
performance penalty of the additional copy, especially on X11, which
means that a Clutter application marked as full screen is not going to
be driven by the compositor, and it's not going to be throttled by the
underlying GL machinery. This has a performance impact on constrained
platforms.
For this reason, we should re-enable swap throttling when the window is
full screen.
As the change was introduced especially because of Wayland, we should
check that we're not running as clients under a Wayland compositor; if
we do, we always keep swap throttling disabled, as the compositor will
always manage our output, even when full screen.
Those can be used to implement different scrolling behaviors.
The fields have been added to ClutterScrollEvent itself. According
to pahole, this makes the struct as big as ClutterButtonEvent and
ClutterTouchEvent, so already at the limit of the ClutterEvent
union.

We should allow a configuration file to set up the initial state of the
global state, which also implies being able to set the backend.
If the allowed backends have already been set programmatically via the
clutter_set_windowing_backend(), though, then the application code takes
precedence, as we assume that the application author knows better than
us what their code supports or requires.
The configuration file should set up the global state before we
initialize it; instead of relying on implicit ordering, explicitly read
the configuration file once, when creating the global shared context
data structure.
Like CLUTTER_DRIVER, we want to allow users to specify a list of
backends to test, and fall back to the internally defined priority as a
default.
This requires changing the way the allowed backend string is parsed,
both for the CLUTTER_BACKEND environment variable and for the
clutter_set_windowing_backend() function. Existing callers are still
supported with the exact same semantics.
Using environment variables only is not convenient for all platforms,
and in some cases it's beneficial to decide the default driver when
building Clutter. Cogl already has a similar configuration switch, and
since Clutter is overriding the default Cogl behaviour, it should offer
the same mechanism.

We have an hardcoded list of drivers we have to go through when creating
a Cogl context. Some platforms may expose those drivers, but not be the
preferred ones.
In order to allow users and system integrators to override the list of
drivers, we should crib the same approach used by GDK, and have an
environment variable with a list of drivers to try.
The new environment variable is called `CLUTTER_DRIVER` and accepts a
comma-separated list of driver names, which will be tested in sequence
until one succeeds. There's also an additional '*' token which is used
to ask Clutter to fall back to the internally defined preferred list of
drivers.
