AUTHORS is not really useful, as many more people have been committing
to Clutter for a while now.
The G_CONST_RETURN define in GLib is, and has always been, a bit fuzzy.
We always used it to conform to the platform, at least for public-facing
API.
At first I assumed it has something to do with brain-damaged compilers
or with weird platforms where const was not really supported; sadly,
it's something much, much worse: it's a define that can be toggled at
compile-time to remove const from the signature of public API. This is a
truly terrifying feature that I assume was added in the past century,
and whose inception clearly had something to do with massive doses of
absynthe and opium — because any other explanation would make the
existence of such a feature even worse than assuming drugs had anything
to do with it.
Anyway, and pleasing the gods, this dubious feature is being
removed/deprecated in GLib; see bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644611
Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
whole API. We should especially remove its usage from Cally's internals,
since there it never made sense in the first place.
In Cogl, cogl-pango.h has moved to <cogl-pango/cogl-pango.h>. When
using the experimental 2.0 API (which Clutter does) it is no longer
possible to include it under the old name of <cogl/cogl-pango.h> so we
need to update the include location.
This adds a virtual to ClutterActor so that an actor subclass can
report whether it has overlapping primitives. ClutterActor uses this
to determine whether it needs to use ClutterFlattenEffect to implement
the opacity property. The default implementation of the virtual
returns TRUE which means that most actors will end up being redirected
offscreen when the opacity != 255. ClutterTexture and ClutterRectangle
override this to return FALSE because they should never need to be
redirected. ClutterClone overrides it to divert to the source.
The values for the ClutterOffscreenRedirect enum have changed to:
AUTOMATIC_FOR_OPACITY
The actor will only be redirected if has_overlaps returns TRUE and
the opacity is < 255
ALWAYS_FOR_OPACITY
The actor will always be redirected if the opacity < 255 regardless
of the return value of has_overlaps
ALWAYS
The actor will always be redirected offscreen.
This means that the property can't be used to prevent the actor from
being redirected but only to increase the likelihood that it will be
redirected.
ClutterActor now adds and removes the flatten effect depending on
whether flattening is needed directly in clutter_actor_paint(). There
are new internal versions of add/remove_effect that don't queue a
redraw. This means that ClutterFlattenEffect is now just a no-op
subclass of ClutterOffscreen. It is only needed because
ClutterOffscreen is abstract. Removing the effect also makes it so
that the cached image will be freed as soon as an actor is repainted
without being flattened.
This adds a property which can be used to redirect the actor through
an FBO before painting so that it becomes flattened in an image. The
image can be used as a cache to avoid having to repaint the actor if
something unrelated in the scene changes. It can also be used to
implement correct opacity even if the actor has overlapping
primitives. The property is an enum that takes three values:
CLUTTER_OFFSCREEN_REDIRECT_NEVER: The default behaviour which is to
never flatten the actor.
CLUTTER_OFFSCREEN_REDIRECT_ALWAYS: The actor is always redirected
through an FBO.
CLUTTER_OFFSCREEN_REDIRECT_ONLY_FOR_OPACITY: The actor is only
redirected through an FBO if the paint opacity is not 255. This
value would be used if the actor wants correct opacity. It will
avoid the overhead of using an FBO whenever the actor is fully
opaque.
The property is implemented by installing a ClutterFlattenEffect.
ClutterFlattenEffect is a new internal class which subclasses
ClutterOffscreen to redirect the painting to an FBO. When
ClutterOffscreen paints, the effect sets an opacity override on the
actor so that the image will always contain the actor at full
opacity. The opacity is then applied to the resulting image before
painting it to the stage. This means the actor does not need to be
redrawn while the opacity is being animated.
The effect has a high internal priority so that it will always occur
before any other effects and it gets hidden from the application.
This adds a new public function to queue a rerun of an effect. If
nothing else queues a redraw then when the effect's actor is painted
the effect will be run without the CLUTTER_EFFECT_RUN_ACTOR_DIRTY
flag. This allows parametrised offscreen effects to report that they
need to redraw the image without having to redraw the underlying
actor. This will be used to implement the 'transparency' effect of
ClutterActor.
If multiple redraws are queued with different effects then redrawing
is started from the one that occurs last in the list of effects.
Internally the function is a wrapper around the new function
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_full. This is intended to be the sole
point of code for queuing redraws on an actor. It has parameters for
the clip and the effect. The other two existing functions to queue a
redraw (one with a clip and one without) now wrap around this function
by passing a NULL effect.
This adds a new virtual to ClutterEffect which is intended to be a
more flexible replacement for the pre and post_paint functions. The
implementation of a run virtual would look something like this:
void
effect_run (ClutterEffect *effect,
ClutterEffectRunFlags flags)
{
/* Set up state */
/* ... */
/* Chain to the next item in the paint sequence */
clutter_actor_continue_paint (priv->actor);
/* Clean up state */
/* ... */
}
ClutterActor now just calls this virtual instead of the pre_paint and
post_paint functions. It keeps track of the next effect in the list so
that it knows what to do when clutter_actor_continue_paint is
called. clutter_actor_continue_paint is a new function added just for
implementing effects.
The default implementation of the run virtual just calls pre_paint and
post_paint so that existing effects will continue to work.
An effect is allowed to conditionally skip calling
clutter_actor_continue_paint(). This is useful to implement effects
that cache the image of an actor. The flags parameter can be used to
determine if the actor is dirty since the last paint. ClutterActor
sets this flag whenever propagated_one_redraw is TRUE which means that
a redraw for this actor or one of its children was queued.
Cogl has now been split out into a standalone project with a separate
repository at git://git.gnome.org/cogl. From now on the Clutter build
will now simply look for a cogl-1.0 pkg-config file to find a suitable
Cogl library to link against at build time.
This backend hasn't been used for years now and so because it is
untested code and almost certainly doesn't work any more it would be a
burdon to continue trying to maintain it. Considering that we are now
looking at moving OpenGL window system integration code down from
Clutter backends into Cogl that will be easier if we don't have to
consider this backend.
pre_paint() and post_paint() implementations don't need
to check whether an effect is disabled: Clutter will
not apply an effect unless it is enabled.
So remove code which checks whether the effect is
enabled or disabled from the example applications and the
documentation.
Add a recipe showing how to implement two simple
effects, based on ClutterEffect: an always gray background,
and a border with configurable width and color.
Also explains the necessity to queue a redraw on
the associated actor if the effect's properties change,
and shows how to implement that.
The example gives the GObject code for both effects,
as well as an example application showing how to use them.
The example also demonstrates how to disable/enable an effect,
making the border round an actor togglable.
Add example of a simple background color effect applied via
pre_paint() implementation in a ClutterEffect subclass.
This is a simple effect with an incomplete GObject
implementation (no properties, setters or getters)
to make it as easy to follow as possible.
The OffscreenEffect class needs to expose a way for sub-classes to
track the size of FBO it creates, in case it has to do some geometry
deformations like the DeformEffect sub-classes.
Let's move the private symbol we used internally in 1.6 to fix
DeformEffect to the list of public symbols of OffscreenEffect.

Creating a synthetic event requires direct access to the ClutterEvent
union members; this access does not map in bindings to high-level
languages, especially run-time bindings using GObject-Introspection.
It's also midly annoying from C, as it unnecessarily exposes the guts of
ClutterEvent - something we might want to fix in the future.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2575
Make sure users get the idea that clutter_init()
has a return value that needs to be checked.
These were fixed via sed magic:

Add an effects chapter which gives a broad overview of
the abstract classes in the effects API, plus a short
example of how to apply one of the stock Clutter
effects (ClutterColorizeEffect).
The recipe explains how to create a custom ClutterDeformEffect
to produce a page fold (code based on ClutterPageTurnEffect).
The example code includes the effect class plus a small
application to apply it to a texture.
Show how to animate an actor using a ClutterPathConstraint.
This demonstrates how to get effects similar to
ClutterPathBehaviour with the modern animation APIs.
Includes 3 examples:
1) Simple ClutterPathConstraint used with implicit animations
2) ClutterPathConstraint used to simulate circular animation,
using ClutterAnimator
3) Creating simple curved path animations with non-linear
easing
Try to make the cookbook pass the distcheck phase, so that we can run
distcheck with --enable-docs, and make sure that a tarballed clutter
release can actually build the cookbook.
Remove the dispose() implementation and replace
with destroy().
This should be promoted as the standard approach
for implementing a composite actor, as it emits a
signal when instances of the actor subclass are destroyed.
Add some extra detail to the Discussion section of the
composite actor recipe, concentrating on the pros and
cons of this approach.
Also explain more about the Clutter parts of the implementation.
Also general tidy up of language and style.
Add some extra description to the allocate() function,
explaining how the allocation has to be adjusted to
coordinates relative to the actor as a whole, before
applying to the single child actor it is composed from.
Include all the code examples inline as part of the recipe.
Remove sections around each code example, as these are
unnecessary; leave full discussion for the Discussion section
instead of trying to cram it in around the code example.
As most actor subclasses will probably want to implement
size requisition, give a simple example of how to do this
on the basis of the composed actor's size, plus some padding.
When synthesizing events coming from input devices it should be
possible to just call a setter function, to avoid a huge switch
on the type of the event.
Clutter should also store the device pointer inside the private
data, for faster access of the pointer in allocated events.
Finally, the get_device_id() and get_device_type() accessors should
just be wrappers around clutter_event_get_device(), to reduce the
amount of code duplication.

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.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2475
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.

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.
