+
+  • List of changes since Clutter 1.6.2
+
+    » Fix handling of opacity in ClutterOffscreenEffect.
+
+    » Fix partially off-stage actors in ClutterOffscreenEffect.
+
+    » Add a recipe in the Cookbook for animating an actor on a path.
+
+    » Refresh key mapping when notified by X11.
+
+    » Clean up the ClutterStageWindow redraw implementations.
+
+    » Update the Wayland backend to match upstream API changes:
+      • allow using shared buffers if DRM fails;
+      • improve checks for the required extensions.
+
+    » Documentation fixes.
+
+    » Introspection annotations fixes.
+
+    » Fix setting the matrix for a pipeline layer.
+
+    » Fix flushing the framebuffer when switching to it.
+
+    » Make sure to call glFlush when blitting a stage region to the
+      front buffer, to avoid the driver batching the command for an
+      undefined amount of time.
+
+    » Fix the windowing system defines for non-X11 platforms.
+
+    » Fix the location of the shared objects in the Cally pkg-config
+      file.
