GValueArray is on its way to deprecation in GLib; as far as the
ListModel class is concerned, a plain C array of GValue is a perfectly
suitable replacement for the GValueArray usage. It actually is an
improvement, given that it's going to take less memory.
ClutterActor stopped requiring to override the map and unmap virtual
functions some time ago.
Now that ClutterActor implements the Container interface, overriding map
and unmap to control the MAPPED state of the children is pretty much
going to be a source of bugs and misunderstandings.
Plus, the ordering of the unmap, destroy, dispose, and finalize calls
should be be documented properly.
The documentation should clarify all that.
• Clear up what's deprecated.
• Remove mentions of set_parent/unparent, and use add_child/remove_child
instead.
• Clarify that reparent may not touch the MAPPED state.
When calling clutter_actor_destroy(), ClutterActor calls
update_map_state() on itself to unset the REALIZED and MAPPED states,
prior to running the dispose() implementation.
The default dispose() will call remove_child() (either directly or
through the Container implementation), which will check for the MAPPED
state and then run update_map_state() again. We use the previously set
MAPPED state to decide whether or not the parent should queue for a
relayout/redraw when removing a visible children.
If the MAPPED flag was cleared prior to remove_child(), though, it'll
always be unset by the time we get to remove_child(), and this will
cause missing redraws/relayouts; we were ignoring this prior the
post-First Apocalypse changes because we were doing:
if (was_mapped)
clutter_actor_queue_relayout (parent);
clutter_actor_queue_redraw (parent);
which is obviously wrong. Once I removed that glaring brain damage from
the remove_child() implementation, bugs started appearing — bugs that
were probably the reason why we introduced that brain damage in the
first place, instead of checking the source of those bugs.
The obvious fix is to avoid clearing up the actor's state on destroy()
until we remove the actor from its parent. This also reduces the amount
of work we do, and the code paths that can potentially go wrong.
Since the code dealing with ClutterShader is pretty self-contained, now,
we can safely move it outside of the main ClutterActor source file and
into its own. This will allow us to just drop a bunch of files when
branching for 2.0.
The YUV support depends on the driver support, and not only not many
drivers support YUV natively: the supported colorspaces are pretty much
useless.
The proper way to do YUV to RGB colorspace conversion on the GPU is to
use a fragment shader; for that, ClutterTexture and Cogl provide enough
API to achieve a good result - see the Clutter-GStreamer implementation,
for instance.
ClutterFixedLayout is the default layout manager for ClutterActor.
Existing subclasses of ClutterActor will get a fixed layout manager
regardless of whether they are going to use it, but since it sets the
CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT flag, it will introduce regressions on actors
that perform their own layout management.
The CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT flag was a bit of a mistake in the first
place, as it was introduced as a last minute workaround in the 1.0
process to deal with broken stuff in Moblin. It's going to be a target
for deprecation towards a removal when we start the 2.0 process.
Iterating over children and ancestors of an actor is a relatively common
operation. Currently, you only have one option: start a for() loop, get
the first child of the actor, and advance to the next sibling for the
list of children; or start a for() loop and advance to the parent of the
actor.
These operations can be easily done through the ClutterActor API, but
they all require going through the public API, and performing multiple
type checks on the arguments.
Along with the DOM API, it would be nice to have an ancillary, utility
API that uses an iterator structure to hold the state, and can be
advanced in a loop.

During the gutting of ClutterBox, the destroy and dispose implementation
were removed. The former, especially, destroyed all children - which
usually meant that the redraw queues for the childre was cleared as
well. The removal introduced crashes when a Box was destroyed while its
children were still queueing redraws.
Something is causing a deadlock when using clutter_threads_* API inside
the offscreen redirect conformance test. The conformance tests are
pretty insane anyway, so for the time being, let's put g_timeout_add()
back in while we figure out the issue.
Symbolic names are better than magic numbers, even if they are
well-established and won't likely change.
This maps to a commit in GTK+ that introduced the same names; it
was decided to go for PRIMARY, MIDDLE, and SECONDARY because of
the confusion that may arise when the button order gets flipped
in left-handed configurations - the "left" button (i.e. 1) becomes
the right-most button, and the "right" button (i.e. 3) becomes
the left-most button.

Also update the code to set the size of the stage to set it to the size of the
output. In future versions of the Wayland protocol we'll get a configure
message advising of us of the size we can be to achieve fullscreen.
