+===============================================================================
+
+  • List of changes since Clutter 1.23.2
+
+    - Add functions for binding a GListModel to a ClutterActor
+    The bind_model() and bind_model_with_propertis() methods on ClutterActor
+    allow binding objects inside a GListModel implementation to children or
+    an actor.
+
+    - Add event types for touchpad gestures
+    Currently, the libinput input backend is the only one that will generate
+    the touchpad events for swipe and pinch/zoom/rotate, but support for other
+    backends is planned in the future.
+
+    - Documentation fixes
+
+  • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.23.2
+
+    #752272 - _CLUTTER_DEPRECATED_MACRO_FOR is not defined when not compiling
+              with gcc
+    #752056 - Check for NULL pointer for pspec returned by
+              g_object_class_find_property, before dereferencing
+    #752104 - Automatic wayland detect support causes error when wayland is
+              not installed
+    #751472 - Don't create libinput properties

+Release Notes for Clutter 1.24
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+• ClutterModel, ClutterModelIter, and ClutterListStore have been deprecated.
+  You're strongly encouraged to use the GListModel interface, and the
+  GListStore class, as a replacement.
+
+• The macros used to access the state flags in ClutterActor have been
+  deprecated, and replaced by equivalent functions.
+
+• Clutter types now can be used with the `g_autoptr()` and `g_auto()`
+  macros provided by GLib and supported by GCC and Clang.
+
+• The old, non-namespaced CLUTTER_* key symbols now have an associated
+  deprecation warning.
+
+• The private, unused ClutterX11XInputEventTypes enumeration, which was
+  erroneously placed in the clutter-x11.h public header, has been removed.
+
+• The Wayland client backend is now autodetected depending on whether the
+  required dependencies are available.
