+Clutter 1.9.2                                                        2011-11-22
+===============================================================================
+
+  • List of changes since Clutter 1.8
+
+    - Multi-backend build, and run-time backend selection
+    Clutter can be built with support for multiple backends in the same
+    shared library; the backend singleton is determined at run-time,
+    either with the default backend for the platform, or using the value
+    of the CLUTTER_BACKEND environment variable.
+
+    - GDK windowing system backend
+    A new backend has been added, which uses the GDK API for creating the
+    drawing surface, as well as receiving the windowing system and input
+    events.
+
+    - Show a hint when ClutterText is in password mode
+    If the password-hint-time ClutterSettings property is set to a non
+    zero value, the last character entered inside a ClutterText actor when
+    in password mode will be shown in plain for the duration of the timeout,
+    before being replaced by the glyph chosen as the password character.
+
+    - Improve Windows build support
+    Clutter now provides project files to build the library using Visual
+    Studio 9 and Visual Studio 10. Also, the scripts to build Clutter using
+    MinGW have been improved.
+
+    - Remove the requirement for using clutter_threads_init()
+    Threads are initialized by default (depending on the platform), so there
+    is no need to call clutter_threads_init().
+
+    - Deprecate the default ClutterStage
+    The semantics of the default Stage were not obvious, and had the tendency
+    to confuse the user.
+
+    - Move the deprecated headers into their own directory
+    This should help developers identify the deprecated API.
+
+    - Change deprecation policy
+    Deprecated functions are now marked using compiler annotations, instead
+    of being forcibly disabled through pre-processor directives from the
+    headers. Deprecations will cause compiler warnings, and thus are enabled
+    by default. If you're building your project with compiler flags that
+    consider every warning a fatal error, you can use the symbol
+    CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS to disable the deprecation warnings.
+
+    - Translation updates
+    Portuguese, Assamese, Punjabi, Tamil, Oriya, Telugu, French, German,
+    Danish, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), Catalan, Esperanto,
+    Lithuanian, Galician, Norwegian bokmål, Slovenian, Hebrew, Bulgarian.
