Clutter 0.5.4 (25/01/2008)
==========================
* List of changes between 0.5.2 and 0.5.4
o A clutter-x11-<major>.<minor> pkg-config file is installed along
with the clutter-<major>.<minor> and clutter-<backend>-<major>.<minor>
ones, for libraries and applications depending on the X11-based
backends (GLX and EGLX).
o Textures are correctly unrealized before changing and freeing the
main GL context.
o It is now possible to block the automatic call to clutter_main_quit()
when closing the stage window using the frame controls by connecting
an handler for the ::event signal on the Clutter stage and checking
for the CLUTTER_DELETE event type and returning TRUE. This allows
the usage of other main loops with GLib reactors (like Python's twisted)
with Clutter without triggering assertions by closing the stage window.

==========================
* List of changes between 0.5.0 and 0.5.2
o ClutterModelDefault has been renamed to ClutterListModel
o ClutterModel now has vector-based variants for append, prepend and
insert methods; these methods are useful for bindings

* List of bugs fixed
o #694 - Handle GLhandleARB on OS X [Tommi Komulainen]
o #700 - Fix for clutter_effect_rotate() [Neil Roberts]
Clutter 0.5.0 (02/01/2008)
==========================
* List of changes between 0.4.2 and 0.5.0
o New event handling system: every actor with the CLUTTER_ACTOR_REACTIVE
flag set will receive events from the underlying backend; the event
propagation chain will be walked in two directions (from the actor to
the top-level container and back) with the ability to block it in
both phases.
o ClutterShader, an abstraction over the programmable OpenGL pipeline.
o ClutterScore, an object for controlling timelines; using a score
instance is possible to start multiple timelines at once, or start
a timeline after another has emitted the ::complete signal.
o ClutterScript, an object for parsing a scene from an external file or
a buffer; the scene is described using JSON (JavaScript Object Notation):
every object is defined using its class and properties, and container
objects can have their children defined as well. It is also possible
do describe top-level objects such as timelines and behaviours, and to
automatically connect signal handlers to signal names.
o ClutterTimelines duration can now be set in milliseconds using the
:duration property; the default framerate will be used to compute the
actual duration in frames. The default framerate will be set by the
backend, and can be overridden by the application.
o ClutterTimelines direction can now be set using the :direction
property; a timeline can be set to proceed forward or backward,
and the direction can also be change while the timeline is still
running.
o New, experimental OSX backend.
o Build environment for MS VisualStudio 2005.
o ClutterModel, a generic list-based model object that can be used to
implement actors following the Model-Viewer-Controller design pattern.
Clutter provides a default implementation of ClutterModel, called
ClutterModelDefault and using the GSequence data structure from GLib
to optimize insertion and look up.
o Add the ability to grab pointer and keyboard events: if an actor
is set to have a grab it'll be the only one receiving events until
it releases the grab.
o Add the ability for an actor to receive the key focus; an actor
with key focus will always receive the key events, even if it did
not acquire the keyboard grab.
o It is now possible to set the GL "fog" (also known as "depth cueing")
effect on the ClutterStage; if the fog is enabled, actors farther
away from the view point will fade into the stage background color.
o Each actor now has an "anchor point", a point defined in the actor's
coordinate space that will be used as the origin when scaling and
rotation transformations.
o Every pixel-based API has been doubled with a corresponding
ClutterUnits-based function (postfixed with a '-u'), for instance:
clutter_actor_set_position() - clutter_actor_set_positionu()
clutter_actor_set_size() - clutter_actor_set_sizeu()
clutter_actor_set_depth() - clutter_actor_set_depthu()
This allows sub-pixel precision and device independence.
o The ClutterLabel actor now tries very hard to provide a sane
default size, if no bounding box has been requested; this fixes
the :alignment property and allows the addition of the :justify
property.
o The SDL backend can now be compiled under win32 with MingW; this
backend is still marked as experimental.
o The OSX backend allows the compilation of Clutter under OS X; this
backend is experimental.

o New ClutterBox API: each box has now a colour and a margin (distance
between the inner-border and the children); plus, each packed child
has a padding. Margins and paddings are expressed in ClutterUnits,
to ease the transition to the device independent units. You can use
clutter_box_set_default_padding() if you want the same padding for
each child.

Clutter 0.3 (29/06/2007)
========================
* List of changes between 0.2.3 and 0.3
o Clutter now supports both switchable windowing system and GL backends.
Window systems supported include GLX, EGL and SDL.
GL support includes OpenGL 1.2+ and OpenGL ES 1.1. This is
provided by a small basic abstraction layer 'cogl.h'. Cogl is not
yet documented - usage external to Clutter is not yet advised.
Backends may provide specific command line options.
Notes;
GLX
---
The GLX backend is built by default and is currently the most
developed, supported and featured windowing system backend. Only
OpenGL is supported via GLX.
SDL
---
Clutter has experimental support for using SDL. Open GL is supported as
is OpenGL ES via Dogles (very experimental).
EGL
---
Clutter has experimental support for using EGL. Only Open GL ES
is supported by EGL.
EGL support assumes an EGL implementation running atop X Windows.
Open GL ES.
-----------
Clutter now has experimental support for Open GL ES.
Current known issues;
+ Unrealising a ClutterTexture will not move pixel data from video
into system memory but simply destroy it.
+ BGRA, YUV Texture data not currently supported.
(Use the clutter_feature API to probe for above at runtime)
Open Source ES implementations this has been tested against
include `Vincent' and `dgles'. Support for commerical
implementations may require modifications to the configure.ac
script.

(Also see: http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/misc/trunk/ogles/ )
dgles: http://developer.hybrid.fi/dgles/index.html
o New ClutterEffect class provides a simplified (and thus less flexible)
API wrapping around behaviours, alphas and timelines.
o New Behaviours - bspline, ellipsis, rotation.

CLUTTER_ALPHA_SINE_INC
CLUTTER_ALPHA_SINE_DEC
CLUTTER_ALPHA_SINE_HALF
CLUTTER_ALPHA_SQUARE
CLUTTER_ALPHA_SMOOTHSTEP_INC
CLUTTER_ALPHA_SMOOTHSTEP_DEC
CLUTTER_ALPHA_EXP_INC
CLUTTER_ALPHA_EXP_DEC

o #215 - macro CLUTTER_MARK() not disabled for non-debug builds
Clutter 0.2 (18-01-2007)
========================
* List of changes between 0.2 and 0.1
o Bindings, GStreamer and GTK+ dependencies moved out of tree:
now Clutter strictly depends on Xlibs, OpenGL and GdkPixbuf only.
o Actors now have an initial floating reference; this means you
don't have to explicitely unref them: every memory an actor
allocates will be freed when the group containing the actor will
be destroyed.
o Add basic run-time detection of GL features.
+ Use GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB if available.
+ Attempt to set up sync to vblank (set CLUTTER_VBLANK=none to disable)
o Add API for behaviours. A ClutterBehaviour is an object which
drives a set of actors using one or more properties depending
on the value of an "alpha" function.
+ Provide simple behaviours: ClutterBehaviourOpacity,
ClutterBehaviourPath and ClutterBehaviourScale.
+ Provide simple alpha functions for ramps and sine waveforms.
o Add fixed point API for embedded platforms with no FPU.
o Add support for command line switches to Clutter, like debug
flags and abort on warnings; also allow application to hook up
into the initialisation sequence to add their own command line
switches.
o Add Pango GL renderer for Clutter, and use it to render text
inside the ClutterLabel actor; this decrease texture memory
usage.
o Redo Clutter Label widget, using the new Pango renderer.
o Clutter Textures do not store local pixbuf copy (of texture).
o Redo group and actor scale/sizing API and functionality.
o Add memory management API for ClutterColor, and string parsing.
