9c7afe0c5b [timeline] Remove the concept of frames from timelines
Timelines no longer work in terms of a frame rate and a number of
frames but instead just have a duration in milliseconds. This better
matches the working of the master clock where if any timelines are
running it will redraw as fast as possible rather than limiting to the
lowest rated timeline.

Most applications will just create animations and expect them to
finish in a certain amount of time without caring about how many
frames are drawn. If a frame is going to be drawn it might as well
update all of the animations to some fraction of the total animation
rather than rounding to the nearest whole frame.

The 'frame_num' parameter of the new-frame signal is now 'msecs' which
is a number of milliseconds progressed along the
timeline. Applications should use clutter_timeline_get_progress
instead of the frame number.

Markers can now only be attached at a time value. The position is
stored in milliseconds rather than at a frame number.

test-timeline-smoothness and test-timeline-dup-frames have been
removed because they no longer make sense.

d6d208da7d Remove Units from the public API
With the recent change to internal floating point values, ClutterUnit
has become a redundant type, defined to be a float. All integer entry
points are being internally converted to floating point values to be
passed to the GL pipeline with the least amount of conversion.

ClutterUnit is thus exposed as just a "pixel with fractionary bits",
and not -- as users might think -- as generic, resolution and device
independent units. not that it was the case, but a definitive amount
of people was convinced it did provide this "feature", and was flummoxed
about the mere existence of this type.

So, having ClutterUnit exposed in the public API doubles the entry
points and has the following disadvantages:

  - we have to maintain twice the amount of entry points in ClutterActor
  - we still do an integer-to-float implicit conversion
  - we introduce a weird impedance between pixels and "pixels with
    fractionary bits"
  - language bindings will have to choose what to bind, and resort
    to manually overriding the API
    + *except* for language bindings based on GObject-Introspection, as
      they cannot do manual overrides, thus will replicate the entire
      set of entry points

For these reason, we should coalesces every Actor entry point for
pixels and for ClutterUnit into a single entry point taking a float,
like:

  void clutter_actor_set_x (ClutterActor *self,
                            gfloat        x);
  void clutter_actor_get_size (ClutterActor *self,
                               gfloat       *width,
                               gfloat       *height);
  gfloat clutter_actor_get_height (ClutterActor *self);

etc.

The issues I have identified are:

  - we'll have a two cases of compiler warnings:
    - printf() format of the return values from %d to %f
    - clutter_actor_get_size() taking floats instead of unsigned ints
  - we'll have a problem with varargs when passing an integer instead
    of a floating point value, except on 64bit platforms where the
    size of a float is the same as the size of an int

To be clear: the *intent* of the API should not change -- we still use
pixels everywhere -- but:

  - we remove ambiguity in the API with regard to pixels and units
  - we remove entry points we get to maintain for the whole 1.0
    version of the API
  - we make things simpler to bind for both manual language bindings
    and automatic (gobject-introspection based) ones
  - we have the simplest API possible while still exposing the
    capabilities of the underlying GL implementation

52811b240f [stage] Coalesce fog and perspective API
The fog and perspective API is currently split in two parts:

  - the floating point version, using values

  - the fixed point version, using structures

The relative properties are using the structure types, since they
are meant to set multiple values at the same time. Instead of
using bare values, the whole API should be coalesced into two
simple calls using structures to match the GObject properties.

Thus:

  clutter_stage_set_fog (ClutterStage*, const ClutterFog*)
  clutter_stage_get_fog (ClutterStage*, ClutterFog*)

  clutter_stage_set_perspective (ClutterStage*, const ClutterPerspective*)
  clutter_stage_get_perspective (ClutterStage*, ClutterPerspective*)

Which supercedes the fixed point and floating point variants.

More importantly, both ClutterFog and ClutterPerspective should
using floating point values, since that's what get passed to
COGL anyway.

ClutterFog should also drop the "density" member, since ClutterStage
only allows linear fog; non-linear fog distribution can be achieved
using a signal handler and calling cogl_set_fog() directly; this keeps
the API compact yet extensible.

Finally, there is no ClutterStage:fog so it should be added.

86e95a779a Remove CloneTexture from the API
ClutterClone supercedes ClutterCloneTexture, since it can clone
every kind of actor -- including composite ones.

This is another "brain surgery with a shotgun" kind of commit: it
removes CloneTexture and updates every test case using CloneTexture
to ClutterClone. The API fallout is minimal, luckily for us.

74213e0ee3 [alpha] Allow registering alpha functions
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.

3e9e5a11da [test-depth] cast width to gint when calculating -width/2
It was a fluke that this worked out due to how clutter_actor_set_depth
internally converts the incorrect integer result to fixed point.

c83d955af3 Fix compilation warning
Declare the width and height variables as unsigned ints, in order
to match the required arguments for clutter_actor_get_size().

Bug 1014 - Clutter Animation API Improvements

	* clutter/Makefile.am:
	* clutter/clutter.h: Update the build

	* clutter/clutter-types.h: Add AnimationMode, an enumeration
	for easing functions.

	* clutter/clutter-alpha.[ch]: Add the :mode property to
	control the function bound to an Alpha instance using an
	enumeration value. Also add six new alpha functions:

		- ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out
		- sine-in, sine-out, sine-in-out

	* clutter/clutter-deprecated.h: Deprecate the #defines for
	the alpha functions. They will be replaced by entries in the
	ClutterAnimationMode.

	* clutter/clutter-interval.[ch]: Add ClutterInterval, an
	object for defining, validating and computing an interval
	between two values.

	* clutter/clutter-animation.[ch]: Add ClutterAnimation, an
	object responsible for animation the properties of a single
	actor along an interval of values. ClutterAnimation memory
	management is automatic. A simple wrapper method for
	ClutterActor is provided:

		clutter_actor_animate()

	which will create, or update, an animation for the passed
	actor.

	* clutter/clutter-debug.h:
	* clutter/clutter-main.c: Add a new 'animation' debug note.

	* clutter/clutter-script.c: Clean up the alpha functions
	whitelist, and add the new functions.

	* doc/reference/clutter/Makefile.am:
	* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-sections.txt: Update the
	API reference.

	* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation.xml: Renamed to
	doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation-tutorial.xml to
	avoid clashes with the ClutterAnimation section.

	* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.sgml: Renamed to
	doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.xml, as it was an XML
	file and not a SGML file.

	* tests/Makefile.am:
	* tests/interactive/Makefile.am:
	* tests/interactive/test-animation.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-easing.c: Add two tests for the
	new simple animation API and the easing functions.

	* tests/interactive/test-actors.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-behave.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-depth.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-effects.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-layout.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-multistage.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-paint-wrapper.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-rotate.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-scale.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-texture-quality.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-threads.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-viewport.c: Update interactive tests
	to the deprecations and new alpha API.

603f936745 Bug 1162 - Re-works the tests/ to use the glib-2.16 unit testing
framework

	* configure.ac:
	* tests/*:
	The tests have been reorganised into different categories: conformance,
	interactive and micro benchmarks.
	- conformance tests can be run as part of automated tests
	- interactive tests are basically all the existing tests
	- micro benchmarks focus on a single performance metric

	I converted the timeline tests to conformance tests and also added some
	tests from Neil Roberts and Ebassi.

	Note: currently only the conformance tests use the glib test APIs,
	though the micro benchmarks should too.

	The other change is to make the unit tests link into monolithic binaries
	which makes the build time for unit tests considerably faster. To deal
	with the extra complexity this adds to debugging individual tests I
	have added some sugar to the makefiles so all the tests can be run
	directly via a symlink and when an individual test is run this way,
	then a note is printed to the terminal explaining exactly how that test
	may be debugged using GDB.

	There is a convenience make rule: 'make test-report', that will run all
	the conformance tests and hopefully even open the results in your web
	browser. It skips some of the slower timeline tests, but you can run
	those using 'make full-report'
