An em is a unit of measurement in typography, equal to the point
size of the current font.
It should be possible to convert a value expressed in em to
ClutterUnits by using the current font and the current DPI as
stored by the default backend.
The stage-with/height-percentage converters had been broken by
the multiple-stages support of Clutter 0.8. They are also made
useless by the fact that Units are now floating point values.
The millimeters and typographic points converters also depended
on the default stage, but they can be reworked to use the default
DPI coming from the default Backend instead.
This better reflects the fact that the api manages sets of vertex attributes,
and the attributes really have no implied form. It is only when you use the
attributes to draw that they become mesh like; when you specify how they should
be interpreted, e.g. as triangle lists or fans etc. This rename frees up the
term "mesh", which can later be applied to a concept slightly more fitting.
E.g. at some point it would be nice to have a higher level abstraction that
sits on top of cogl vertex buffers that adds the concept of faces. (Somthing
like Blender's mesh objects.) There have also been some discussions over
particle engines, and these can be defined in terms of emitter faces; so some
other kind of mesh abstraction might be usefull here.
Okey; to summarise the changes...
We have converted Clutter and Cogl over to using floating point internally
instead of 16.16 fixed, but we have maintained the cogl-fixed API as a
utility to applications in case they want to implement their own optimizations.
The Clutter API has not changed (though ClutterFixed and ClutterUnit are now
internally floats) but all Cogl entry points have been changed to accept floats
now instead of CoglFixed.
To summarise the rationale...
There have been a number of issues with using fixed point though out Clutter
and Cogl including: lack of precision, lack of range, excessive format
conversion (GPUs tend to work nativly with IEEE floats) and maintainability.
One of the main arguments for fixed point - performance - hasn't shown
itself to be serious in practice so far since we seem to be more limited
by GPU performance and making improvements regarding how we submit data to
OpenGL[ES]/the GPU has had a more significant impact.
Ref: The recent multiple rectangle queuing changes + the
cogl-texture-agressive-batching branch which show significant performance
gains, and that recent tests on the ipodtouch (ARM + MBX) also showed no
loss of performance running with floats.
So finally; please forgive the inevitable fallout, this is a far reaching
change. There are still a few known issues with the fixed to float
conversion but enough works for all our conformance tests to pass, and the
remaining issues hopefully wont be too tricky to solve. For reference two
tags will be available either side of this change: "cogl-fixed-end" and
"cogl-float-start"
To deal with all the corner cases that couldn't be scripted a number of patches
were written for the remaining 10% of the effort.
Note: again no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
In order to unify alpha functions and animation modes in ClutterAlpha
we should be able to register alpha functions and get a logical id
for them; the logical id will then be available to be used by
clutter_alpha_set_mode().
The registration requires API changes in ClutterAlpha constructors
and methods. It also provides the chance to shift ClutterAlpha
towards the use of animations modes only, and to alpha functions
as a convenience API for language bindings alone.
The Effects API and all related symbols have been superceded by
the newly added Animation API and clutter_actor_animate().
This commit removes the Effects implementation, the documentation
and the interactive test/example code.

Bug 1289 - Draw multiple glyphs at once
The multiple-texture-rectangle branch adds a new Cogl texture function
called cogl_texture_multiple_rectangles which is used to draw multiple
rectangles out of a texture using a single GL call. This is
significantly faster than drawing the rectangles with individual calls
on some platforms. The Pango renderer now uses this to speed up
rendering.
The conflicts are just due to the whitespace fixes in cb569a5.

The clutter_binding_pool_list_actions() was not implemented. The
utility of a call listing all the action names is also debatable:
all the functions related to the key bindings take the key symbol
and modifiers -- except the block_action() and unblock_action()
pair.
Add all the unused API to the sections file; there are still
some undocumented bits, but clutter-unused.txt is empty for
the time being.
Also, add ClutterText to the main XML document and remove
ClutterLabel and ClutterEntry.

now it instead starts a new disjoint sub path. The path isn't
cleared until you call either cogl_path_stroke, cogl_path_fill or
cogl_path_new. There are also cogl_path_stroke_preserve and

stack code quite a bit to make it more maintainable. Previously
whenever you added a new clip it would go through a separate route
to immediately intersect with the current clip and when you
removed it again it would immediately rebuild the entire clip. Now
when you add or remove a clip it doesn't do anything immediately
but just sets a dirty flag instead.
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl.c:
* clutter/cogl/gles/cogl.c: Taken away the code to intersect
stencil clips when there is exactly one stencil bit. It won't work
with path clips and I don't know of any platform that doesn't have
eight or zero stencil bits. It needs at least three bits to
intersect a path with an existing clip. cogl_features_init now
just decides you don't have a stencil buffer at all if you have
less than three bits.
* clutter/cogl/cogl.h.in: New functions and documentation.
* tests/interactive/test-clip.c: Replaced with a different test
that lets you add and remove clips. The three different mouse
buttons add clips in different shapes. This makes it easier to
test multiple levels of clipping.

cogl_path_stroke_preserve when using the same path again.
* doc/reference/cogl/cogl-sections.txt: Document the new

* clutter/clutter-types.h: Add AnimationMode, an enumeration
for easing functions.
* clutter/clutter-alpha.[ch]: Add the :mode property to

freeing CoglColor, for use of language bindings.
