This adds a new experimental function (you need to define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API to access it) which takes us towards being
able to have a standalone Cogl API. This is really a minor aesthetic
change for now since all the GL context creation code still lives in
Clutter but it's a step forward none the less.
Since our current designs introduce a CoglDisplay object as something
that would be passed to the context constructor this provides a stub
cogl-display.h with CoglDisplay typedef.
_cogl_context_get_default() which Clutter uses to access the Cogl
context has been modified to use cogl_context_new() to initialize
the default context.
There is one rather nasty hack used in this patch which is that the
implementation of cogl_context_new() has to forcibly make the allocated
context become the default context because currently all the code in
Cogl assumes it can access the context using _COGL_GET_CONTEXT including
code used to initialize the context.
This moves the implementation of _clutter_do_pick to clutter-stage.c and
renames it _clutter_stage_do_pick. This function can be compared to
_clutter_stage_do_update/redraw in that it prepares for and starts a
traversal of a scenegraph descending from a given stage. Since it is
desirable that this function should have access to the private state of
the stage it is awkward to maintain outside of clutter-stage.c.
Besides moving _clutter_do_pick this patch is also able to remove the
following private state accessors from clutter-stage-private.h:
_clutter_stage_set_pick_buffer_valid,
_clutter_stage_get_pick_buffer_valid,
_clutter_stage_increment_picks_per_frame_counter,
_clutter_stage_reset_picks_per_frame_counter and
_clutter_stage_get_picks_per_frame_counter.
This updates the inner loops of the cull function so now the vertices of
the polygon being culled are iterated in the inner loop instead of the
clip planes and we count how many vertices are outside the current
plane so we can bail out immediately if all the vertices are outside of
any plane and so we can correctly track partial intersections with the
clip region.
The previous approach could catch some partial intersections but for
example a rectangle that was larger than the clip region centred over
the clip region with all corners outside would be reported as outside,
not as a partial intersection.
In 047227fb cogl_atlas_new was changed so that it can take a flags
parameter to specify whether to clear the new atlases and whether to
copy images to the new atlas after reorganisation. This was done so
that the atlas code could be shared with the glyph cache. At some
point during the development of this patch the flag was just a single
boolean instead and this is accidentally how it is used from the glyph
cache. The glyph cache therefore passes 'TRUE' as the set of flags
which means it will only get the 'clear' flag and not the
'disable-migration' flag. When the glyph cache gets full it will
therefore try to copy the texture to the new atlas as well as
redrawing them with cairo. This causes problems because the glyph
cache needs to work in situations where there is no FBO support.
In _cogl_pipeline_prune_empty_layer_difference if the layer's parent
has no owner then it just takes ownership of it. However this could
theoretically end up taking ownership of the root layer because
according to the comment above in the same function that should never
have an owner. This patch just adds an extra check to ensure that the
unowned layer has a parent.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2588
In _cogl_pipeline_prune_empty_layer_difference if we are reverting to
the immediate parent of an empty/redundant layer then it is not enough
to simply add a reference to the pipeline's ->layer_differences list
without also updating parent_layer->owner to point back to its new
owner.
This oversight was leading us to break the invariable that all layers
referenced in layer_differences have an owner and was also causing us to
break another invariable whereby after calling
_cogl_pipeline_layer_pre_change_notify the returned layer must always be
owned by the given 'required_owner'.

When we come to presenting the result of a clipped redraw to the front
buffer with a blit we need to ensure that all the rendering is done,
otherwise redraw operations that are slower than the framerate can queue
up in the pipeline during a heavy animation, causing a larger and larger
backlog of rendering visible as lag to the user.
Note: Since calling glFinish() and sycnrhonizing the CPU with the GPU is
far from ideal, we hope that this is only a short term solution.
One idea is to using sync objects to track render completion so we can
throttle the backlog (ideally with an additional extension that lets us
get notifications in our mainloop instead of having to busy wait for the
completion.)
Another option is to support clipped redraws by reusing the contents of
old back buffers such that we can flip instead of using a blit and then
we can use GLX_INTEL_swap_events to throttle. For this though we would
still probably want an additional extension so we can report the limited
region of the window damage to X/compositors.
Thanks to Owen Taylor and Alexander Larsson for reporting the problem.
On win32, test scripts are created with a .exe extension.
Under mingw, a .exe script is launched in 16 bit compatibility mode (through
ntvdm), and so it just does not run.

If no POT file is found, gettext will automatically create it; this, in
turn, will cause msgmerge to be run, and that will cause the PO files to
be touched and changed at the very first call for `make`.
Having the PO files with unstaged changes will ultimately lead to merge
issues will pulling from the remote repository between releases - unless
`git checkout -f` is called prior to `git pull -r`.
I think intltool only has some rule to avoid that from happening unless
on dist, but I have no intention of dragging intltool into the build of
a library that barely has localized messages.

docs: Remove checks for whether an effect is disabled
docs: Add recipe about implementing a ClutterEffect
docs: Add example of setting background color with ClutterEffect
docs: Add example of a border added through ClutterEffect
clutter_clone_get_paint_volume was being exported from the shared
library because the function wasn't declared static. This function
shouldn't be exposed because it should be accessed through
clutter_actor_get_paint_volume.
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 texture containing the image for the redirected actor will always
be painted at a 1:1 texel:pixel ratio so there's no need to use linear
filtering. This should also counteract some of the effects of rounding
errors when calculating the geometry for the quad.
On a Fedora system (and maybe others) there is a wrapper script called
i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config. This script unsets the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
variable and then sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR variable so that it won't
pick up the native system .pc files. This breaks cross compiling in
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh because it ends up removing its attempts
to set a local search path.
To fix this, the mingw-fetch-dependencies script now generates its own
wrapper script which instead sets PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the local
clutter-cross prefix and then runs the original pkg-config program
from the search path. This should have the same benefit of preventing
it from finding native system .pc files on systems that don't provide
a cross pkg-config. The cross compiling for json-glib and the
recommend args to pass to configure when building clutter are updated
to set the PKG_CONFIG varible to point to this wrapper script.
Since there is very little now left in the env.sh file generated by
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh it can be removed. What remained (The
CFLAGS="-mms-bitfields" and PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$ROOT_DIR/lib/pkgconfig) can
simply be passed explicitly when calling ./configure.
This removes the use of -mno-cygwin from our generated env.sh for cross
compiling with mingw.
I don't know that anyone is building clutter under cygwin, and our
BuildingClutterOnWindows wiki page only describes building with msys not
cygwin so I think its fair to assume that this build configuration is
untested and thus not supported by us currently. Since the -mno-cygwin
option is deprecated it could well be that there is a better
cross-compilation solution available for cygwin these days if you want
to build programs that don't depend on cygwin libraries.
