This is part of a broader cleanup of some of the experimental Cogl API.
One of the reasons for this particular rename is to reduce the verbosity
of using the API. Another reason is that CoglVertexArray is going to be
renamed CoglAttributeBuffer and we want to help emphasize the
relationship between CoglAttributes and CoglAttributeBuffers.
Allow the developer to set whether the Stage should receive key focus
when mapped. The implementation is fully backend-dependent. The default
value is TRUE because that's what we've been expecting so far.

Keeping the Cogl 2.0 API reference in the build is getting far more
troublesome than it's worth.
It's breaking distcheck far too often, and it makes it impossible to
rebuild the build environment from tarballs - which is something that
some distributions (namely: the Debian-based ones, but not limited to
them) do in order to change build scripts using their own rules.
Added 3 examples for the box layout recipe:
1) Simple box layout demonstrating how to set actor properties
2) Trivial menu implementation using box layout
3) Demonstration app which enables tweaking and testing
of layout property interactions
Also inlined example 1 in the solution section and added
more explanatory text in the discussion.
Other frameworks expose the same functionality as "auto-reverse",
probably to match the cassette tape player. It actually makes sense
for Clutter to follow suit.
If an <emphasis> element is placed inside a <programlisting> in a cookbook
recipe, the result is bold italic text in the HTML output. This isn't
particularly readable.
Fix is to style emphasis elements inside programlistings
so the font weight is not bold but is still italicised.

If not configured with --enable-cogl2-reference then don't try and dist
the doc/references/cogl-2.0 manual. Although this means a tarball built
this way will not be able to build the experimental cogl-2.0 manual this
isn't considered a big problem since anyone interested in this would
hopefully be tracking git for now or we can simply be careful to
configure with --enable-cogl2-reference for our tarball releases.
To allow us to have gobject properties that accept a CoglMatrix value we
need to register a GType. This adds a cogl_gtype_matrix_get_type function
that will register a static boxed type called "CoglMatrix".
This adds a new section to the reference manual for GType integration
functions.
clutter_timeline_set_reverse() can be used to
automatically reverse a timeline's direction each time
it completes, so use that in looping animation recipe and
examples.
* elliot/cookbook-animations-scaling:
cookbook: Add recipe for animated scaling of an actor
cookbook: Add example of scaling a texture
cookbook: Added "animated scaling" recipe skeleton
cookbook: Added animated scaling example
Recipe explains how to animate scaling a single actor.
Also covers scaling vs. resizing, scale center, and
scaling within layouts and containers.
The first example shows how animations around each scale
gravity look, as well as tracking the transformed position
and size of the actor and displaying those.
The second example is a simple image viewer with zoom in/out
using scaling.
Added an example showing scaling of an actor on
each of the scaling gravity settings (NORTH_WEST, NORTH etc.),
with a mark indicating the center being used.
Displays the transformed size and position, updated
on each paint of the actor.
This add two new function that allows us to transform or project an
array of points instead of only transforming one point at a time. Recent
benchmarking has shown cogl_matrix_transform_point to be a bottleneck
sometimes, so this should allow us to reduce the overhead when
transforming lots of vertices at the same time, and also reduce the cost
of 3 component, non-projective transforms.
For now they are marked as experimental (you have to define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API) because there is some concern that it
introduces some inconsistent naming. cogl_matrix_transform_point would
have to be renamed cogl_matrix_project_point to be consistent, but that
would be an API break.
Building the API reference for Cogl 2.0 is fairly confusing: the API
itself is experimental and for internal use only -- though we want
feedback for it.
Let's build the API reference only when Clutter is configured with a
specific configure switch, so that people that wish to give feedback on
the API and its documentation can do it.
* elliot/cookbook-animations-looping:
cookbook: Recipe for "looping animations"
cookbook: Clarify how signals are emitted during looped animation
cookbook: First draft for looping animations recipe
cookbook: Recipe skeleton for "looping animations"
cookbook: Looping animation examples
Added a recipe giving examples of how to loop
animations for each part of the animation API (implicit,
animator, state).
The discussion covers looping a fixed number of times
and inverting a single implicit animation to create
a loop which goes back to its start on each iteration.
So we can keep track of the experimental progress of Cogl 2.0 features
this adds a standalone Cogl 2.0 Reference Manual which doesn't cover
the deprecated 1.x symbols and removes the need for a "Cogl
experimental API" chapter since those sections now make up the main
table of contents.
Since EGA colors are apparently all the rage in other toolkits, Clutter
should not be left out. On top of the usual CGA/EGA palette the static
colors also include the Tango Icon palette, which at least is more
pleasant to the eye.
Static colors are accessed through an enumeration by using
clutter_color_get_static(), or using the short-hand pre-processor
macros.

This exposes the idea of a stack of source materials instead of just
having a single current material. This allows the writing of orthogonal
code that can change the current source material and restore it to its
previous state. It also allows the implementation of new composite
primitives that may want to validate the current source material and
possibly make override changes in a derived material.
* wip/path-constraint:
docs: Add PathConstraint
tests: Add a PathConstraint interactive test
Add ClutterPathConstraint
actor-box: Add setters for origin and size
This function handles a single windows message. The idea is that it
could be used by clutter-gtk to forward on events from a
GdkEventFilter. The function replaces the old message_translate()
function. That function didn't translate the event anymore anyway and
instead it could generate multiple events so
clutter_win32_handle_event seems like a more appropriate name. The
function returns TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the event was
completely handled instead of setting call_window_proc.
The interpolate() method does what it says on the tin: it interpolates
between two colors using the given factor.
ClutterColor uses it to register a progress function for Intervals.
Recipe covers adding handlers for button-press-event and
button-release-event signals on actors, and how to
examine the content of a ClutterButtonEvent via API functions.
The discussion section explains about click count
(the criteria for how clicks get counted, including
distance and time settings); how button numbers are reported;
and how to use ClutterClickAction as an alternative
for press + release in certain scenarios.
The internal copy of JSON-GLib was meant to go away right after the 1.0
release, given that JSON-GLib was still young and relatively unknown.
Nowadays, many projects started depending on this little library, and
distributions ship it and keep it up to date.
Keeping a copy of JSON-GLib means keeping it up to date; unfortunately,
this would also imply updating the code not just for the API but for the
internal implementations.
Starting with the 1.2 release, Clutter preferably dependend on the
system copy; with the 1.4 release we stopped falling back automatically.
The 1.6 cycle finally removes the internal copy and requires a copy of
JSON-GLib installed on the target system in order to compile Clutter.
This recipe explains how to use the three animation
approaches (implicit, State, Animator) to animate movement
of actors.
Includes some guidelines about which approach to use when, with
a full code example for each approach.
The discussion section covers some subtleties around animated
movement; namely: moving actors out of their containers; anchor
points and movement; moving in the depth axis; interactions
between animated movement and constraints.
Added an example showing how to move two actors between
two states (one minimised, one maximised) using ClutterState
to do the movement. Also shows how movement can be mixed
with other animation (in this case, scaling).
This adds a "Cogl deprecated API" chapter to the Cogl reference manual
so we can group all the documentation for deprecated symbols together
instead of having them clutter up the documentation of symbols we would
rather developers used.
The CoglTexture3D API is only available when defining
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API so it should be listed in the experimental
section of the API reference.
* cookbook-layouts-bind-constraint:
cookbook: Add recipe about sync'ing actor sizes
cookbook: Example using allocation-changed to sync actor size
cookbook: Simple example to demonstrate bind constraint
cookbook: Example of using a bind constraint for an overlay
The recipe covers how to use ClutterBindConstraint
to bind actor sizes together.
It gives some examples of where this approach is appropriate,
as well as explaining an alternative using allocation-changed
or notify::* signals.
Three examples are given:
1. Resizing a texture to the stage.
2. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture (using constraints).
3. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture, but with a size proportional to the texture
(using a handler connected to allocation-changed signals
emitted by the texture).
An alternative method (not using constraints) to bind
one actor's size and position to another. Used as
an example in the recipe about resizing one actor in
sync with a source actor.
A simple example showing how to scale an actor to the stage.
Demonstrates ClutterBindConstraint and ClutterAlignConstraint
in a fashion suitable for a short recipe.
Example code which loads an image into a texture, and resizes
the image in response to +/- key presses. The overlay is
a transparent rectangle which is bound to the height and
width of the texture; on clicking the texture, the overlay
is made visible by increasing its opacity.
This demonstrates how to use constraints to simplify code
for resizing an actor which is "dependent" on another actor.
