  • List of changes since Clutter 1.7.6

    - Various fixes in Cally
    Make sure to use Clutter's API and remove old workarounds that were put
    into place when Cally was a separate project and targeting pre-1.0 API
    versions of Clutter.

    - Add ClutterCairoTexture:auto-resize
    This property makes it easier to create 2D canvas surfaces by tracking
    the actor's allocation in a backward compatible way.

    - Add ClutterAnimatable.interpolate_value()
    This new virtual function deprecates the animate_property() virtual of the
    Animatable interface, which was sub-optimal in different ways.

    - Allow using Animatable implementations with ClutterState
    Thanks to the new interpolate_value() virtual it is now possible to use
    the Animatable interface with ClutterState; this allows animating
    action, constraint and effect properties using the same "@" syntax also
    used by ClutterAnimation and clutter_actor_animate().

    - Improve ClutterModel's implementation
    Avoid a bunch of needless checks, and make sure that the ::row-changed
    signal is emitted in all cases when a row has been changed through the
    ClutterModelIter API. The conformance test unit for ClutterModel has
    also been improved to avoid future regressions.

    - Improve ClutterStage behaviour on OS X
    Make sure that the fullscreen, multi-screen and key focusing are
    well-behaved on OS X, by implementing the correct delegate methods.
