The system JSON-GLib installation should be the preferred way of parsing
JSON in Clutter. The internal copy is limited by re-synchronization from
upstream, and by the fact that upstream contains a fork of GScanner that
allows parsing escaped UTF-8. We should warn users compiling Clutter
with the internal copy, just like we warn about the internal image
backend.
The X11TexturePixmap actor uses XComposite API directly, without guards.
It has been doing so for a while, against the fact that we do check for
the XComposite extension - but we don't depend on it. As soon as you try
building Clutter on X11 without the XComposite extension available all
hell breaks loose.
The obvious fix is to make Clutter depend on XComposite - basically
ratifying what's the current state of things.
Update the configure.ac to use the LT_INIT() instead of the deprecated
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. This also allows us to depend on a specific libtool
version, namely one that doesn't thoroughly suck.
There is no need for us to check for low-level functions and header
files, especially since we haven't been checking the results until
now. This makes cross-compiling slightly more bearable.
Require automake >= 1.10, and add the following options:
» dist-bzip2: create a bz2 tarball in the dist process
» check-news: check that we changed the NEWS file prior to dist,
to avoid another release without NEWS updates, like 1.1.10
We basically want all Clutter applications out in the wild to at least
have the basic set of COGL_DEBUG/--cogl-debug options available for
investigating issues.
The SDL API is far too limited for the windowing system needs of
Clutter; the status of the SDL backend was always experimental, and
since the Windows platform is supported by a native backend there is
no point in having the SDL backend around any more.
When using pkg-config to check for the x11 package compiler flags and
libraries we actually need to retrieve those values from the pc file.
This should also fix the issue with non-canonical installations of the
X11 headers and shared objects.

The win32 backend now handles the WM_SETCURSOR message and sets a
fully transparent cursor if the cursor-visible property has been
cleared on the stage. The icon is stored in the library via a resource
file. The instance handle for the DLL is needed to load the resource
so there is now a DllMain function to grab the handle.
This adds gives Cogl a dedicated UProf context which will be linked together
with Clutter's context during clutter_init_real().
Initial timers cover _cogl_journal_flush and _cogl_journal_log_quad
You can explicitly ask for a report of Cogl statistics by exporting
COGL_PROFILE_OUTPUT_REPORT=1 but since the context is linked with Clutter's
the statisitcs will also be shown in the automatic Clutter reports.
• Make the manual a DevHelp book
• Make the generation of PDFs of the cookbook and the manual optional
• Consequently, make the hard dependency on jw optional
• Clean up the checks and build for the additional documentation
Instead of creating stand-alone HTML files, use XSLT to transform the
DocBook into a DevHelp file, so that we can read the Cookbook inside
DevHelp -- just like the API reference.
The "Clutter Cookbook" is a document designed to contain solutions
to common problems applications developers might encounter when using
Clutter. It is meant as a companion to the API reference but it
requires knowledge of the Clutter API and framework.
The main COGL header cogl.h is currently created at configure time
because it conditionally includes the driver-dependent defines. This
sometimes leads to a stale cogl.h with old definitions which can
break the build until you clean out the whole tree and start from
scratch.
We can generate a stable cogl-defines.h at build time from the
equivalent driver-dependent header and let cogl.h include that
file instead.
We should generate a ChangeLog for each minor version cycle, starting
from the Git import date (since before that we used ChangeLog-style
commit messages that don't really look good with the Git ones).
For this reason we can take Cairo's Makefile.am.changelog file and,
after tweaking it to fit our use case, let it generate the correct
ChangeLogs on dist.
