+
+  • List of changes since Clutter 1.6.0
+
+    - Cogl moved out of tree
+    The Clutter OpenGL abstraction library has been moved to a separate
+    repository and can be used as a stand-alone shared library. Clutter
+    has been modified to depend on Cogl's experimental API.
+
+    - Correctly composite non fully opaque children
+    Non fully opauqe actors with non fully opaque children will automatically
+    redirect children paint operations to offscreen buffers, which allow
+    correct composition taking into account the overall opacity of the scene's
+    sub-graph. The same mechanism can be used to create a paint cache, and
+    paint that cache when the actor or its children do not change, instead of
+    painting the whole sub-graph again.
+
+    - Allow connecting signals to ClutterState states in ClutterScript
+    When defining a scene using ClutterScript it's possible to directly
+    connect a state inside a ClutterState object (both defined in
+    ClutterScript or in code) to an object's signal, without using an
+    explicit signal handler in the code.
+
+    - Long-press handling in ClutterClickAction
+    ClutterClickAction will detect a long-press gesture and emit signals
+    to query, activation and cancellation.
+
+    - Added ClutterGestureAction and ClutterSwipeAction
+    ClutterGestureAction is a generic "pointer gesture" action; it doesn't
+    provide an implementation: it's up to the developer to add the gesture
+    recognition code. ClutterSwipeAction is a GestureAction sub-class that
+    implement the "swipe" gesture. The GestureAction API is already future
+    proof for multi-device/multi-touch, even though the multi-touch isn't
+    currently implemented.
+
+    - Allow Effects to influence picking
+    Effects that change the geometry of a ClutterActor should also be
+    allowed to change the picking code to make sure that event handling
+    keeps working. ClutterEffect has a new pick() virtual function for
+    these cases.
+
+  • List of bugs fixes since Clutter 1.6.0

+    #2610 - Add recipe about implementing a ClutterEffect
+    #2619 - Removes the addition of the .exe extension to unit-test scripts,
+            on win32.
+    #2620 - _cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture_full() leaks reference when failing
+    #2621 - Clutter segfaults if you queue a redraw of an unmapped actor inside
+            the notify::mapped callback
+    #2631 - [PATCH] Enable evdev ClutterInputDevice objects on creation, as the
+            other backends do

+              the viewport
+    #651700 - Give a chance to effects for running when picking
+    #652129 - Use "const" instead of G_CONST_RETURN

+Release Notes for Clutter 1.8
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+• Cogl has been split out of tree. Clutter depends on Cogl, so users should
+  not notice anything. Developers using pkg-config will gain an extra Cogl
+  dependency.
+
+• The clutter_actor_get_gid() and clutter_get_actor_by_gid() functions have
+  been deprecated. They should not have been public in the first place.
+
+• ClutterShader and its relative API have been deprecated. ClutterShaderEffect
+  and the effect API is the proper way to use GLSL shaders with ClutterActors.
+  It is possible to instantiate a ClutterShaderEffect directly.
+
+• ClutterText's paint volume has been implemented using the ink rectangle of
+  the PangoLayout used to paint, to allow culling to work properly even in
+  the case of glyphs spilling outside the logical rectangle.
+
+• Non fully opaque children of a non fully opaque actor will be composited
+  in an offscreen framebuffer object to preserve the correct overall opacity.
+  This changes the way non fully opaque actors are drawn, and might cause
+  some code relying on the old, unspecified behaviour to produce different
+  results.
+
+• ClutterBoxLayout layout algorithm has been changed to map the more mature
+  and more stable GtkBox one.
