* Notes

   o This is a development release of Clutter 0.7 leading towards the
     0.8 stable cycle.

   o This version is fully API and ABI incompatible with the previous
     0.6 releases.

   o This version is parallel installable with Clutter 0.6.

   o Installing this version will overwrite the files from the
     installation of a release of the 0.7 series or the installation
     of a SVN checkout of the current development branch (trunk).

   o Bugs should be reported to: http://bugzilla.o-hand.com

What's new in Clutter 0.7.4
---------------------------

   o Fix the ClutterEntry actor after the clip API changes in COGL.

   o Update the shaders generated for GLES 2.0.

   o Add the ability to add search paths and look up files from
     ClutterScript. This allows defining directories to store the
     images to be loaded by a ClutterTexture.

   o Fix the GLES 1.1 support.

   o Warn if no usable pointer device are available on X11 backends.

   o Improve the request for the best pixel format on win32.

   o Fix a regression when sizing the ClutterStage on backends that
     only support fixed size stages; now setting any size will result
     in Clutter ignoring the request, like it happened in Clutter 0.6.

   o Add a method to ClutterBackend to retrieve the display size.

   o Fix clutter_sinx() for angles > CFX_2PI - CFX_ONE.

List of bugs fixed since 0.7.2
------------------------------

   o #833 - ClutterEntry should clip glyphs rather than itself
   o #858 - Support for multiple devices (using XINPUT)
   o #879 - sampler2DRect used by test-shader.c doen't work with non-rect textures
   o #979 - Wrong call convension for SwapIntervalProc in win32 backend
   o #987 - clutter-event.c c99 variable declaration
   o #988 - cursor position wrong with multibyte invisible char
   o #989 - Add a search path for clutter script assets

Special thanks to all the contributors:
