Previously, the Cogl backend was at times a subclass of the X11
backend, and at times a standalone one. Now it is the other way
round, with GDK and X11 backends providing the concrete classes,
layered on top of the generic Cogl backend. A new EglNative backend
was introduced for direct to framebuffer rendering. This greatly
simplifies the API design (at the expense of some casts needed)
and reduces the amount of #ifdefs, without duplicating code.

This commit introduces a new flavour for Clutter, that uses GDK
for handling all window system specific interactions (except for
creating the cogl context, as cogl does not know about GDK), including
in particular events. This is not compatible with the X11 (glx)
flavour, and this is reflected by the different soname (libclutter-gdk-1.0.so),
as all X11 specific functions and classes are not available. If you
wish to be compatible, you should check for CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11.
Other than that, this backend should be on feature parity with X11,
including XInput 2, XSettings and EMWH (with much, much less code)

Avoid double argument checking, and a deprecation warning when
implementing create() as a wrapper around create_region(), by using
a simple internal function.
The number of deprecations in clutter-main.h makes the header harder to
parse, and more confusing. We can use a separate header under the
deprecated subdirectory to hold all the deprecated symbols.
Since Xlib.h is such a terrible citizen when it comes to symbol
namespacing it's not desirable to include Xlib.h if it is not absolutely
required. Cogl now has a standalone cogl-xlib.h that should be included
whenever any xlib specific symbols are required.
This patch updates clutter to include <cogl/cogl-xlib.h> wherever
clutter needs to use xlib specific cogl apis.

We use an atexit() handler to print out the profile report coming from
Uprof. The g_atexit() call has been deprecated by GLib, but since this
use case is pretty specific and it's not meant to be turned on by
default (or distributed) then we can safely disable the deprecation
warnings inside clutter-profile.c.
The g_atexit() function has been deprecated in GLib as it is a fairly
bad idea in basically all cases.
We could probably use a GCC destructor if we didn't care about
portability, but for the time being we just remove the atexit() handler
that disposed the backend.
There are a couple of gotchas in the 'mapped' flag that are not properly
documented, or are documented only in the actor_invariants.txt file; we

Just like ClutterBindConstraint has two shorthand enumerations for binding

This function is called when the backend is being disposed - as a way
of releasing all ClutterShader. This doesn't take into account three
things:
- ClutterShader is deprecated
- the Backend is *never* disposed
- once the process terminates, all its resources are automatically
released by the OS
So the _clutter_shader_release_all() function is a pointless exercise
in futility.

Just like GLIB_DEPRECATED and GLIB_DEPRECATED_FOR, Clutter should have

out of deprecation warnings.
Deprecation warnings are enabled by default, now, even when building
Clutter.
This moves a couple of definitions to the common types header, and makes
sure that ClutterBehaviour subclasses include clutter-behaviour.h first,
so that their types can be fully expanded without necessarily have the
ClutterBehaviour header header included by their public headers. This is
the necessary prelude to have clutter-behaviour.[ch] moved to the
deprecated section.
The code that has been deprecated should live into its own directory,
both in the repository and when installed. This should make it clear
which functionality is actually maintained and which is not.
We start with an oldie: the frame source API.
On top of the existing "Settings" group in the settings.ini file we
should have two more groups:
Environment - contains all the configuration possible through
environment variables
Debug - contains all the possible debug variables
ClutterSettings should be able to load its initial state by using
configuration files in SYSCONFDIR and XDG_CONFIG_HOME. This allows
Clutter to have a system (and user) configuration on platforms that
do not have XSETTINGS bridges.
We already have two mechanisms for controlling the font rendering
quality on a per-application basis:
• ClutterSettings properties
• clutter_backend_set_font_options()
The font flags were always a stop-gap solution, and one that tried to
simplify a fairly complex issue beyond the point of actually being
useful.

The grab API is a relic of Clutter 0.6, and hasn't been through proper
vetting in a *long* time — mostly due to the fact that we don't really
like grabs, and point to the ::captured-event as a way to implement
"soft grabs" in toolkits and applications.
The implementation of full and device grabs uses weak references on
actors instead of using the ::destroy signal, which is meant exactly for
the case of releasing pointers to actors when they are disposed.
The API naming scheme is also fairly broken, especially for
device-related grabs.
Finally, keyboard device grabs are just not implemented.
We can, in one go, clean up this mess and deprecate a bunch of badly
named API by introducing generic device grab/ungrab methods on
ClutterInputDevice, and re-implement the current API on top of them.
GLib deprecated g_thread_init(), and threading support is initialized
by GObject, so Clutter already runs with threading support enabled. We
can drop the clutter_threads_init() call requirement, and initialize the
Big Clutter Lock™ on clutter_init(). This reduces the things that have
to be done when dealing with threads with Clutter, and the things that
can possibly go wrong.
The Big Clutter Lock™ can now be a static GMutex, since GLib supports
them. We can also drop a bunch of checks given the recent changes in
GLib threading API.
The static initializer for GMutex has been removed from GLib.
The g_thread_supported() call can also be removed: threading is always
enabled in GLib ≥ 2.31.
This commit introduces a unicode-to-keyval conversion function that
performs identical action as the gdk version of that function. Also

The asynchronous loading code could do with some modernization.
First of all, we should drop the internal GMutex held when manipulating

Then we should consolidate most of the implementation into something

When the viewport gets expanded because the actor extends off the edge

transformation. This fixes a problem when the offscreen effects are
nested and the inner effect would try to pick up the current modelview
transformation to rescale it to fit the new viewport size. In this
case the modelview would have already been scaled for the size of the
outer viewport so it would end up wrong.

Out-of-band transforms are considered to be all actor transforms done

A bunch of private functions we use when parsing got exposed accidentaly
to the list of public symbols by virtue of not having the leading '_'
that we use to filter them out of the shared object — all the while the
header that declares them is a private, non installed one.
Let's rectify this situation with a bit of minor surgery on the code.
The priv->text field cannot ever be NULL, so we don't need to check for
that in a series of places. We also need to assert() that pre-condition
in the couple of places where we set the contents of the ClutterText
actor, namely in set_text_internal() and set_markup_internal().
Based on a patch by: Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2629
Setting :use-markup and :text is currently not idempotent, and it
depends on the ordering, e.g.:
g_object_set (actor, "use-markup", TRUE, "text", value, NULL);
does not yield the same results as:
g_object_set (actor, "text", value, "use-markup", TRUE, NULL);
This is particularly jarring when using ClutterText from ClutterScript,
but in general GObject properties should not rely on the order when used
from g_object_set().
The fix is to store the contents of the ClutterText as a separate string
from the displayed text, and use the contents, instead of the displayed
text, when toggling the :use-markup property.
Let's also add a unit test for good measure, to try and catch
regressions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651940
The easing test is a nice example of what ClutterAnimation and
clutter_actor_animate() can do. The "tween ball to the pointer
event coordinates" is a bit of a staple in animation libraries
and their documentation.
When we paint a ClutterText we ask the actor for a PangoLayout that fits
inside the actor's allocation - both width and height.
Sadly, whenever a height is set on a PangoLayout, Pango will wrap its
contents - regardless of whether the layout should actually wrap or not.
This means that in certain easy to exploit cases, Clutter will paint a
Text actor with its contents wrapping even if the :wrap property is set
to FALSE.
In order to fix this we need to encode some more cases inside the
::paint implementation of ClutterText, and ask the cache for a layout
that is sized as the allocation's width, but not as its height; we also
need to perform a clip if we detect that the PangoLayout's logical size
is going to overflow the allocated size. This clip might cause some
performance issue, given that clipping breaks batching in the Cogl
journal; hopefully all clips for text are going to be screen-aligned, so
at the end of the batch it'll just scissor them out.

Like commit d0439cfb586ca14282c89035119a4acbc0295df7 for
AlignConstraint, let's check that the BindConstraint source is not
a child or a grandchild of the actor attached to the Constraint.
AlignConstraint won't work if the source is a child or a grandchild of
the ClutterActorMeta:actor to which it has been attached to: the
allocation flows from the parent to its children, not the other way
around; in order to avoid weirdness, we better document and check
that when we set the actor and when we set the source.
The repaint functions list can (and should) be manipulated from
different threads, but it currently doesn't prevent multiple threads
from accessing it concurrently. We should have a simple lock and take it
when adding and removing elements from the list; the invocation is still
performed under the Big Clutter Lock™, so it doesn't require special
handling.
Because we have had several reports about significant performance
regressions since we enabled offscreen redirection by default for
handling correct opacity we are now turning this feature off by default.
We feel that clutter should prioritize performance over correctness in
this case. Correct opacity is still possible if required but the
overhead of the numerous offscreen allocations as well as the cost of
many render target switches per-frame seems too high relative the
improvement in quality for many cases.
On reviewing the offscreen_redirect property so we have a way to
disable redirection by default we realized that it makes more sense for
it to take a set of flags instead of an enum so we can potentially
extend the number of things that might result in offscreen redirection.
We removed the ability to say REDIRECT_ALWAYS_FOR_OPACITY, since it
seems that implies you don't trust the implementation of an actor's
has_overlaps() vfunc which doesn't seem right.
The default value if actor::redirect_offscreen is now 0 which
effectively means don't ever redirect the actor offscreen.
If an actor using a LayoutManager has attributes like margin or padding
then it'll have to shave them from the available allocation before
passing it to the LayoutManager::allocate() implementation. Layout
managers should, thus, not assume that the origin of the allocation is
in (0, 0), but take into account that the passed ActorBox might have a
different origin.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649631
The actor is in charge of providing to the LayoutManager the available
allocation. ClutterBox should not just pass the box it got from its
parent: it should, instead, provide a normalized box, with an origin in
(0, 0) and the available size.

This adds experimental API to be able to get the CoglContext associated
with the ClutterBackend. The CoglContext is required to use some of the
experimental 2.0 Cogl API.
Note: Since CoglContext is itself experimental API this API should
considered experimental too. This patch introduces a
CLUTTER_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API #ifdef guard which anyone wanting to use
this API must define so it's explicitly clear to developers that they
are playing with experimental API.
Note: This API is not yet supported on OSX because OSX still uses the
stub Cogl winsys and the Clutter backend doesn't explicitly create a
CoglContext.
Note: even though this is experimental API we still promise that it
wont be changed during a stable release cycle. This means for example
that you can depend on this for the lifetime of the clutter-1.8 stable
release cycle.
