229607464b Improve repaint functions
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.

13e3f9e5f1 Add an input device function to convert keycodes to evdev codes
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.

e4c948b150 actor: Add a method for computing the default paint volume
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.

6a09bf5b52 paint-volume: Add a union method for boxes
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.

97feb06a6f timeline: Add repeat-count
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.

58ffcfb10e actor: Add ClutterActorIter
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.

16ed7677e0 Adds wayland-surface actor for wayland compositors
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.

07c6f96cb4 wayland: Updates client side wayland 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.

a09bbffd92 Implement multi-backend support
The Clutter backend split is opaque enough that should allow us to just

This requires some work in the build system, as well as the

conflicts at build and link time. We also need to defer all the checks
of the internal state of the platform-specific API to run-time type
checks.

7f8838d7cc cairo-texture: Add the :auto-resize property
Keeping the backing Cairo surface of a CairoTexture canvas in sync with
the actor's allocation is tedious and prone to mistakes. We can

2f445682b1 cairo-texture: Use signal-based drawing
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.

4944a5e7d1 Move some old doc files under doc/
ChangeLog.pre-git-import is useless since the Git log contains the
pre-Git history anyway.

AUTHORS is not really useful, as many more people have been committing
to Clutter for a while now.

2b81d90dd7 Eliminate G_CONST_RETURN
The G_CONST_RETURN define in GLib is, and has always been, a bit fuzzy.

We always used it to conform to the platform, at least for public-facing
API.

At first I assumed it has something to do with brain-damaged compilers
or with weird platforms where const was not really supported; sadly,
it's something much, much worse: it's a define that can be toggled at
compile-time to remove const from the signature of public API. This is a
truly terrifying feature that I assume was added in the past century,
and whose inception clearly had something to do with massive doses of
absynthe and opium — because any other explanation would make the
existence of such a feature even worse than assuming drugs had anything
to do with it.

Anyway, and pleasing the gods, this dubious feature is being
removed/deprecated in GLib; see bug:

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644611

Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
whole API. We should especially remove its usage from Cally's internals,
since there it never made sense in the first place.

7d233241f1 Fix include location for cogl-pango.h
In Cogl, cogl-pango.h has moved to <cogl-pango/cogl-pango.h>. When
using the experimental 2.0 API (which Clutter does) it is no longer
possible to include it under the old name of <cogl/cogl-pango.h> so we
need to update the include location.

701440efd8 clutter-actor: Add a 'has_overlaps' virtual
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.
