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.

7f78237ee5 clutter-actor: Add an 'offscreen-redirect' property
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.

00b733a85a clutter-effect: Add clutter_effect_queue_rerun
This adds a new public function to queue a rerun of an effect. If
nothing else queues a redraw then when the effect's actor is painted
the effect will be run without the CLUTTER_EFFECT_RUN_ACTOR_DIRTY
flag. This allows parametrised offscreen effects to report that they
need to redraw the image without having to redraw the underlying
actor. This will be used to implement the 'transparency' effect of
ClutterActor.

If multiple redraws are queued with different effects then redrawing
is started from the one that occurs last in the list of effects.

Internally the function is a wrapper around the new function
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_full. This is intended to be the sole
point of code for queuing redraws on an actor. It has parameters for
the clip and the effect. The other two existing functions to queue a
redraw (one with a clip and one without) now wrap around this function
by passing a NULL effect.

c3aa4d24bf clutter-effect: Add a 'run' virtual
This adds a new virtual to ClutterEffect which is intended to be a
more flexible replacement for the pre and post_paint functions. The
implementation of a run virtual would look something like this:

void
effect_run (ClutterEffect *effect,
            ClutterEffectRunFlags flags)
{
  /* Set up state */
  /* ... */

  /* Chain to the next item in the paint sequence */
  clutter_actor_continue_paint (priv->actor);

  /* Clean up state */
  /* ... */
}

ClutterActor now just calls this virtual instead of the pre_paint and
post_paint functions. It keeps track of the next effect in the list so
that it knows what to do when clutter_actor_continue_paint is
called. clutter_actor_continue_paint is a new function added just for
implementing effects.

The default implementation of the run virtual just calls pre_paint and
post_paint so that existing effects will continue to work.

An effect is allowed to conditionally skip calling
clutter_actor_continue_paint(). This is useful to implement effects
that cache the image of an actor. The flags parameter can be used to
determine if the actor is dirty since the last paint. ClutterActor
sets this flag whenever propagated_one_redraw is TRUE which means that
a redraw for this actor or one of its children was queued.

223e14811c Removes Cogl from the repository
Cogl has now been split out into a standalone project with a separate
repository at git://git.gnome.org/cogl. From now on the Clutter build
will now simply look for a cogl-1.0 pkg-config file to find a suitable
Cogl library to link against at build time.

af366ad750 backend: remove untested fruity backend
This backend hasn't been used for years now and so because it is
untested code and almost certainly doesn't work any more it would be a
burdon to continue trying to maintain it. Considering that we are now
looking at moving OpenGL window system integration code down from
Clutter backends into Cogl that will be easier if we don't have to
consider this backend.

57a5f2296a docs: Remove checks for whether an effect is disabled
pre_paint() and post_paint() implementations don't need
to check whether an effect is disabled: Clutter will
not apply an effect unless it is enabled.

So remove code which checks whether the effect is
enabled or disabled from the example applications and the
documentation.

b5af8fbfac docs: Add recipe about implementing a ClutterEffect
Add a recipe showing how to implement two simple
effects, based on ClutterEffect: an always gray background,
and a border with configurable width and color.

Also explains the necessity to queue a redraw on
the associated actor if the effect's properties change,
and shows how to implement that.

The example gives the GObject code for both effects,
as well as an example application showing how to use them.
The example also demonstrates how to disable/enable an effect,
making the border round an actor togglable.

0c83e6a59a offscreen-effect: Add public accessor for target size
The OffscreenEffect class needs to expose a way for sub-classes to
track the size of FBO it creates, in case it has to do some geometry
deformations like the DeformEffect sub-classes.

Let's move the private symbol we used internally in 1.6 to fix
DeformEffect to the list of public symbols of OffscreenEffect.

d3a7b7502e event: Add setters for ClutterEvent members
Creating a synthetic event requires direct access to the ClutterEvent
union members; this access does not map in bindings to high-level
languages, especially run-time bindings using GObject-Introspection.
It's also midly annoying from C, as it unnecessarily exposes the guts of
ClutterEvent - something we might want to fix in the future.
