The pivot point is a point in normalized coordinates space around which
all transformations revolve.
It supercedes the anchor point and the per-transformation center points
as well as the gravity settings, and tries to sort out the mess that
is the modelview matrix set up in ClutterActor.

The ClutterActor:depth property has always been a bit of a misnomer:
actors are 2D flat surfaces, so they cannot have "depth"; the property
defines the position on the Z axis.
Another side effect of the :depth property is that it decides the
default paint and allocation order on insertion, and that setting it
will call the ClutterContainer.sort_depth_order() method. This has
proven to be a fairly bad design decision that we strung along from the
0.x days, as it gives a false impression of being able to change the
paint and allocation order simply by changing the position on the Z
axis — something that, in reality, requires depth testing to be enabled
during the paint sequence of an actor's parent.
For 2.0 we need a clean break from the side effects, and a better
defined interface.
ClutterActor:z-position is essentially what ClutterActor:depth is, but
doesn't call into ClutterContainer, and has a more apt name.

The :position property on ClutterText clashes with the same property on
ClutterActor; it's also badly named, given that it represents the
cursor's position inside the text; finally, it does not match its
accessors, violating the API style conventions.

Overriding the default behaviour of ClutterDragAction::drag-motion is
currently a pain; you either need to subclass the ClutterDragAction and
override the class closure for the signal, or you need to connect to the
signal and call g_signal_stop_emission_by_name() - neither option being
particularly nice or clean. The established pattern for these cases
would be to have a boolean return value on the ::drag-motion signal, but
we cannot do that without breaking ABI.
To solve the issue in a backward compatible way, we should introduce a
new signal, ::drag-progress, with a boolean return value. If the signal
emission chain returns TRUE, the ::drag-motion signal will be emitted,
and the default behaviour will be honoured; if the signal emission chain
returns FALSE, instead, the ::drag-motion signal will not be emitted.

Acquiring the Clutter lock to mark critical sections is not portable,
and not recommended to implement threaded applications with Clutter.
The recommended pattern is to use worker threads, and schedule UI
updates inside idle or timeout handlers within the main loop. We should
enforce this pattern by deprecating the threads_enter()/leave()
functions. For compatibility concerns, we need internal API to acquire
the main lock during frame processing dispatch.

It can be useful to check whether a ClutterActorIter is currently valid,
i.e. if the iterator has been initialized *and* if the actor to which it
refers to hasn't been updated.
We can also use the is_valid() method in the conformance test suite to
check that initialization has been successful, and that changing the
children list through the ClutterActorIter API leaves the iterator in a
valid state.
The dispose sequence will keep the object alive, and we need to release
the last reference held by the StageManager before releasing control to
GObject.
The build should not add deprecated/ into the default INCLUDE paths, so
that deprecated headers are clearly separated; this will make it easier
to get rid of them when we branch out for 2.0.
Copy and paste of the implementation done at Gtk+ based on pango. This
should be moved to a common library, like the old GailTextUtil. Ideally
on pango itself.

It is possible that we get a DeviceChanged event for a device
that is not in the hash table yet. E.g. I've seen this when
using xrandr to change screen resolution. Prevent a crash in
this case.

* clutter/clutter-cairo-texture.c (clutter_cairo_texture_emit_draw):
Always update the Cogl texture after emitting ::draw, since we control
the dynamic extent in which drawing should happen on the cairo_t.
Fixes#677966.
If the Interval used has a different type than the property we are
animating through a PropertyTransition then we should transform the
interpolated value before applying it, to avoid warnings down the
line.
The compute() method will cache the result, to avoid multiple
allocations and copies; this means, though, that we need to unset the
GValue when destroying the Interval.
Now that the interval can transform the initial and final values to the
type declared when constructing it, there is no need to check for the
value type inside set_initial_value() and set_final_value().
It's possible that GValues passed to a ClutterInterval setter are not
of the same type as the interval - for instance, if they come from
language bindings, or from untrusted sources; we can use the same
transformation functions we already use inside ClutterTransition to
ensure that the ClutterInterval always stores values of the same type
used to create the interval itself.
The ::stopped signal should be emitted at the end of the Timeline, after
the last ::completed signal emission, in order to have a proper
chronological progress of signal emissions:
started → new-frame → [ ... ] → completed → stopped
This way, ::stopped can perform a proper teardown of the state set up
during ::started, without interfering with the potential cyclical
emission of ::completed.
Calling clutter_point_free(clutter_point_zero()) or calling
clutter_rect_free(clutter_rect_zero()) should be safe, exactly like it's
safe to call those functions with a NULL argument.
The implicit animations only apply to properties that are documented as
'animatable'; the explicit animations apply to any property defined
through GObject or ClutterAnimatable.
For 1.x, we still have a duration of 0 msecs, but we have a valid easing
state, so we can change the easing parameters without calling save and
restore.
