Release Notes for Clutter 0.8
-------------------------------
* The COGL GL wrapper API has been completely overhauled and now
contains many new features including new greatly improved texture
abstractions (slicing, mipmapping, deformations etc, greatly
simplifying ClutterTexture), image loading and abstraction, path
based primitive drawing, clipping, and improved FBO and shader
support. It is now also fully documented.
GL Texture Rectangle ext is no longer used, the regular 2D NPOTS
extension is preffered instead but not required.
* Clutter now has basic suppport for multiple input devices assuming
the backend supports it (currently X11 based via XInput and Fruity
backends). New API supporting this includes
clutter_event_get_device_id, clutter_get_input_device_for_id,
clutter_grab_pointer_for_device & clutter_ungrab_pointer_for_device.
XInput support needs to be explicitly enabled at runtime by calling
clutter_x11_enable_xinput () before clutter_init. clutter_x11_has_xinput ()
can then be called after to check if XInput extension present and use-able.
* The functions that return the transformed position of an actor have
been renamed to be more explicit about it:

* Clutter does not strictly depend on GdkPixbuf anymore; this means that
you will have to include <gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h> yourself if you are
operating with GdkPixbuf objects and not including that header. The

ClutterTexture also now has a new filename property and
clutter_texture_new_from_file which is intended as an alternate to
common previous GdkPixbuf primary usage (i.e loading images from
disk).
To read texture data back into a pixbuf or system memory use a combination
of clutter_texture_get_cogl_texture & cogl_texture_get_data.
The clutter-gtk integration library has API for using GdkPixbuf with
ClutterTextures (among others).

new features including new texture abstractions, path based
primitive drawing, improved FBO support and is now fully documented.
ClutterTexture now supports a keep-aspect property which is set to FALSE
by default.
* clutter_texture_from_actor will now reparent source actors if they
are not parented. This behaviour may change in future releases.
There are known not yet fixed issues with source actors that set
depth or use clipping.
* The size negotiation API has been completely changed in order to allow
the creation of non-fixed layout managers. These functions have been

the ClutterActorClass. The size of an actor is now split into two
different concepts: the preferred size (width and height separatedly)
and the size that has been allocated by the container to which that
actor belongs. Clutter still defaults to the fixed layout management
of the actors, but supports fluid layout managers written using the
new API.
