Clutter currently requires:

  * GLib >= 2.14.0
  * Cairo >= 1.6
  * Pango >= 1.18
  * OpenGL >= 1.4, OpenGL ES 1.1 or OpenGL ES 2.0

* Notes

   o This is a development release of Clutter 0.9 leading towards the
     1.0 stable cycle.

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

   o This version is parallel installable with Clutter 0.8.

   o Installing this version will overwrite the files from the
     installation of a git clone of the current development
     branch (master).

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

   o The API of Clutter 0.9 is "slushy": it can still change before
     the 1.0.0 release - though changes will hopefully be contained
     and small.
