Okey; to summarise the changes...
We have converted Clutter and Cogl over to using floating point internally
instead of 16.16 fixed, but we have maintained the cogl-fixed API as a
utility to applications in case they want to implement their own optimizations.
The Clutter API has not changed (though ClutterFixed and ClutterUnit are now
internally floats) but all Cogl entry points have been changed to accept floats
now instead of CoglFixed.
To summarise the rationale...
There have been a number of issues with using fixed point though out Clutter
and Cogl including: lack of precision, lack of range, excessive format
conversion (GPUs tend to work nativly with IEEE floats) and maintainability.
One of the main arguments for fixed point - performance - hasn't shown
itself to be serious in practice so far since we seem to be more limited
by GPU performance and making improvements regarding how we submit data to
OpenGL[ES]/the GPU has had a more significant impact.
Ref: The recent multiple rectangle queuing changes + the
cogl-texture-agressive-batching branch which show significant performance
gains, and that recent tests on the ipodtouch (ARM + MBX) also showed no
loss of performance running with floats.
So finally; please forgive the inevitable fallout, this is a far reaching
change. There are still a few known issues with the fixed to float
conversion but enough works for all our conformance tests to pass, and the
remaining issues hopefully wont be too tricky to solve. For reference two
tags will be available either side of this change: "cogl-fixed-end" and
"cogl-float-start"
To avoid clashing with all the scripted changes, clutter-fixed.h and
clutter-units.h were manually converted to internally use floats instead of
16.16 fixed numbers.
Note: again no API changes were made in Clutter.
To deal with all the corner cases that couldn't be scripted a number of patches
were written for the remaining 10% of the effort.
Note: again no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
This is the result of running a number of sed and perl scripts over the code to
do 90% of the work in converting from 16.16 fixed to single precision floating
point.
Note: A pristine cogl-fixed.c has been maintained as a standalone utility API
so that applications may still take advantage of fixed point if they
desire for certain optimisations where lower precision may be acceptable.
Note: no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
Overview of changes:
- Within clutter/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been changed to use
the CLUTTER_FIXED_ macros.
- Within cogl/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been completly stripped
and expanded into code that works with single precision floats instead.
- Uses of cogl_fixed_* have been replaced with single precision math.h
alternatives.
- Uses of COGL_ANGLE_* and cogl_angle_* have been replaced so we use a float for
angles and math.h replacements.
It's more sensible to use 2^n-1 for a max tile-waste value rather
than 2^n, so change the value default from 64 to 63. Example:
191 and 192 will both be sliced to 128+64 rather than having
191=>128+64, 192=>256.

While X11 Pixmap and Window types only have 32-bits of data, they
are actually 'unsigned long'. Change the "window" and "pixmap"
property of ClutterX11TexturePixmaps to be ulong.
This fixes 64-bit bugs where ClutterGLXTexturePixmap passed a
reference to Pixmap to g_object_get("pixmap", &pixmap, ...);

Since the stage in the EGL native backend only has one size, and it
is determined at realization, we can simply set the SYNC_MATRICES
private flag and let _clutter_stage_maybe_setup_viewport() set up
the GL viewport at the first redraw.
Both clutter_alpha_new_with_func() and clutter_alpha_set_func()
will not register a global alpha function, so we need to update
the documentation to explicitly say so.
The animation mode parameters and properties are now slightly
anonymous unsigned longs, so we need to clarify in the documentation
that the user should either pass a ClutterAnimationMode value or
the result of registering an alpha function.
The animation mode symbolic id might come from the AnimationMode
enumeration or from the clutter_alpha_register_*() family of
functions. For this reason, we should use a gulong instead of
ClutterAnimationMode whenever we have an "animation mode" parameter
or property.
In order to unify alpha functions and animation modes in ClutterAlpha
we should be able to register alpha functions and get a logical id
for them; the logical id will then be available to be used by
clutter_alpha_set_mode().
The registration requires API changes in ClutterAlpha constructors
and methods. It also provides the chance to shift ClutterAlpha
towards the use of animations modes only, and to alpha functions
as a convenience API for language bindings alone.
For example cogl_wrap_glFrustumx -> cogl_wrap_glFrustumf.
The wrappers get #defined to the float versions anyway but it helps
avoid some confusion.
The conversion is done using a regular expression in the upgrade
script. Some of the patches had to be updated to apply cleanly.
It looks like the changes to cogl-gles2-wrapper.h were accidentally
committed to the actual file instead of the patch in commit
de27da0e. This commit moves the changes back into the patch so
cogl-gles2-wrapper.h is reverted back to master.
The wrapper for glClearColor was taking fixed arguments but was given
floating point values so it ended up always setting the clear color to
black. Now that GLES 1.1 is using the floating point version, there is
no need for the wrapper so both versions now just use glClearColor
directly.
A similar problem was happening for glColor but this does still need a
wrapper because it needs to set the vertex attribute.
The patches have been updated to apply cleanly.
The patches for the g_warnings in clutter-actor.c have been removed
because master now uses CLUTTER_UNITS_FORMAT so they aren't
necessary. The clutter-units.h patch now sets CLUTTER_UNITS_FORMAT to
'f'.
The changes from the GL version of cogl-texture.c have been mirrored
in the GLES version. This adds the cogl_texture_new_from_bitmap
function and fixes the build errors.
The GL versions of get_modelview_matrix, get_projection_matrix and
get_viewport were using glGetDoublev and then converting them to
floats, but it might as well just call glGetFloatv directly.
The GL ES versions were using glGetFixedv but this was being replaced
with glGetFloatv by the #define in the GLES 2 wrappers.
The patch also replaces the glGetFixedv wrapper with
glGetFloatv. Previously this was calling
cogl_gles2_float_array_to_fixed which actually converted to
float. That function has been removed and memcpy is used instead.
Directly calling clutter_actor_paint skips out quite a bit code such as the
backend swap buffer call.
Since we are interested in the highest fps possible, and it now goes through
to the backend swap buffer call we now do a setenv (CLUTTER_VBLANK, none, 0)
before calling clutter_init.
If you try to use the CLUTTER_ACTOR_IS_* macros defined in ClutterActor
like this:
typedef struct { unsigned int reactive : 1; } foo_t;
foo_t f; f.reactive = CLUTTER_ACTOR_IS_REACTIVE (actor);
It will blow up because while the macros evaluate to 0 they can also
evaluate to non-zero values. Since most of the boolean flags in
Clutter and Clutter-based code are going to be stored like in the
example above, we should change the macros and let them evaluate
stricly either to 0 or to 1.
The Effects API and all related symbols have been superceded by
the newly added Animation API and clutter_actor_animate().
This commit removes the Effects implementation, the documentation
and the interactive test/example code.
The ::load-finished signal is emitted only when loading a texture
using clutter_texture_set_from_file(). Since this breaks user
expectations and consistency, we should also emit ::load-finished
when loading a texture from image data.

Update/clean and apply the async-texture patch from bug #1144
Since Clutter changed to using a layout scheme the handling_configure
flag no longer works because the allocate method is not invoked
immediately during the call to set_size from the ConfigureNotify
handler. However it is also no longer neccessary because the resizes
are effectively batched up until a relayout is run so it won't cause
an infinite loop of resize and notify events anyway.

ClutterText already has code to try to preserve the x position when
moving up or down. A target x-position is stored and the cursor is
positioned at the nearest point to that in the appropriate line when
up or down is pressed. However the target position was never cleared
so it would always target the x-position of the cursor from the first
time you pressed up or down.
To fix this the patch clears the target position in set_position and
then sets it after the call in real_move_up/down. That way pressing
up or down sets the target position and any other movement will clear
it.
To get an index for the pixel position in the line
pango_layout_line_x_to_index is used. However when x is greater than
the length of the line then the index before the last grapheme is
returned which was causing it to jump to the penultimate
character. The patch makes it add on the trailing value so that it
will jump to the last character.
The old function ended up returning the length of the string when pos
was zero. This caused it to insert characters at the end when the
cursor was at the beginning of the string.
If an unbound control key is pressed (such as Ctrl+R) it would insert
a rectangle into the text.
Also zero is considered a valid unicode character by
g_unichar_validate so pressing a key such as shift would cause the
current selection to be deleted. The character isn't actually inserted
because insert_unichar disallows zeroes.
The GLES 2 wrapper needs to set up some state before each
draw. Previously this was acheived by wrapping glDrawArrays. Since the
multiple-texture-rectangle branch merge, glDrawElements is used
instead so we also need a wrapper for that.
It was also directly calling glBindTexture. GLES 2 uses a wrapper for
this function so that it can cope with GL_ALPHA format textures. The
format of the current texture needs to be stored as well as the target
and object number for this to work.
The BindingPool constructor should only check for duplicate pools
and then set the :name constructor-only property. If a BindingPool
is created without a name we also make a fuss about it.
It is also possible to simply dispose of a binding pool using
g_object_unref(), as long as it has been created by using
clutter_binding_pool_new() or directly with g_object_new(). Only
BindingPools attached to a class are not owned by the user.
Since they are no longer actually taking fixed point parameters the 'x' suffix is
no longer appropriate. To maintain support for sub-pixel precision the
corresponding interfaces that were taking integer parameters now get patched
to take float parameters instead.
ClutterBindingPool is already "problematic" in terms of memory
management for language bindings and gobject-introspection. It
also lacks a GType.
Turning ClutterBindingPool into a GBoxed would not make much
sense, since it does not adhere to the copy/free semantics. It
could be referenced/unreferenced, but in that case we can just
as well use GObject as a base class instead of reimplemeting
a ref-counted object and then boxing it.
ClutterBindingPool is obviously a terminal class, so we just
hide the instance and class structures.
