If the rectangle is allocate a size smaller than the border, drawing the
border will end up with negative coordinates, and will mess up the whole
thing. Since rectangles don't have a minimum preferred size, we cannot
rely on the allocation being big enough to contain the border and the
background color.
If the rectangle is smaller than the border width value, we just paint
the border color as well.
Point to ClutterImage, ClutterContent, and ClutterActor where needed, so
that developers trying to port their code will have a chance at figuring
out how.
The table layout manager has various issues:
• no support for RTL flipping
• most of the layout API is legacy, and has been replaced by the
alignment and expansion flags on ClutterActor
• the animation API is legacy, and has been replaced by the
implicitly animatable allocation
• the spanning cells handling is a bit awkward, as is its API
On top of that, we imported the grid layout management policy from GTK+
into ClutterGridLayout, which provides all the required features in a
more well-designed API.
Instead of wasting time and resources updating TableLayout, we should
deprecate it and point developers of the GridLayout.
Cogl 1.16 has deprecated a lot of API which it will be difficult for
Clutter to catch up with. For the time being the warnings are just
being disabled to keep the build output clean.

We cannot fully deprecate Geometry, because ClutterActor and ClutterText
are actually using the type in signals and properties; but we can
deprecate the API that uses this type, so that 2.0 will be able to avoid
it entirely.
The :transform property controls the modelview matrix of an actor; it
can be used to set a custom modelview matrix on the actor, as opposed
to the decomposed transformations (rotation, scaling, translation)
provided by the ClutterActor class.
This patch brings 'enter-event' and 'leave-event' generation for touch
based devices. This leads to adding a new API to retrieve coordinates
of a touch point.

ClutterTexture is full of side effects that have been picked up over the
years; they make improving ClutterTexture harder than necessary, as well
as making subclassing impossible without introducing weird behaviours in
the child classes as well.
Since Clutter 1.10 we have the ClutterImage content type, which is
side-effects free, given that it just paints texture data using the
state of the actor.
Sadly, we still have subclasses of ClutterTexture, both deprecated and
not, so we cannot deprecate ClutterTexture right out; the type and
structures will still be available, like we do for ClutterGroup, but the
whole API should be moved to the deprecated section, waiting for the
time in which we can get rid of it all.
The ClutterActor:depth property has always been a bit of a misnomer:
actors are 2D flat surfaces, so they cannot have "depth"; the property
defines the position on the Z axis.
Another side effect of the :depth property is that it decides the
default paint and allocation order on insertion, and that setting it
will call the ClutterContainer.sort_depth_order() method. This has
proven to be a fairly bad design decision that we strung along from the
0.x days, as it gives a false impression of being able to change the
paint and allocation order simply by changing the position on the Z
axis — something that, in reality, requires depth testing to be enabled
during the paint sequence of an actor's parent.
For 2.0 we need a clean break from the side effects, and a better
defined interface.
ClutterActor:z-position is essentially what ClutterActor:depth is, but
doesn't call into ClutterContainer, and has a more apt name.

Acquiring the Clutter lock to mark critical sections is not portable,
and not recommended to implement threaded applications with Clutter.
The recommended pattern is to use worker threads, and schedule UI
updates inside idle or timeout handlers within the main loop. We should
enforce this pattern by deprecating the threads_enter()/leave()
functions. For compatibility concerns, we need internal API to acquire
the main lock during frame processing dispatch.

* clutter/clutter-cairo-texture.c (clutter_cairo_texture_emit_draw):
Always update the Cogl texture after emitting ::draw, since we control
the dynamic extent in which drawing should happen on the cairo_t.
Fixes#677966.
The introspection scanner has become slightly more annoying, in the hope
that people start fixing their annotations. As it turns out, it was the
right move.
It's time. Now that we have clutter_actor_allocate() respecting the
easing state of an actor, and that the LayoutManager animation virtual
functions have been deprecated, we can put ClutterAlpha on the chopping
block, and be done with it, once and for all.
So long, ClutterAlpha; and thanks for all the fish.
The ClutterCanvas content implementation should be used instead, to
avoid stringing along the ClutterTexture API and implementation.
This change requires some minor surgery, as the deprecated section
already contains an header for the previously deprecated methods; plus,
we don't want to deprecate clutter_cairo_set_source_color(). This means
creating a new header to be used for Cairo-related API.
