  • List of changes since Clutter 1.6.14

    » Handle pressing bare modifiers on OSX.

    » Fix the flags passed when creating the CoglAtlas for the Pango glyphs
      cache, to avoid issues when running on platforms without FBO support.

    » Use the GL_IMG_TEXTURE_NPOT extension as a fall-back for the
      functionally equivalent GL_OES_TEXTURE_NPOT one.

    » Make sure to combine multiple clipped redraws.

    » Fix the maximum texture units detection on fixed function pipelines.

    » Avoid doing unnecessary work when destroying actors — especially the
      Stage.

    » Do not segfault when disposing an Input device without a master.

    » Use the correct size when setting up the viewport with Offscreen
      effects.

    » Implement the paint volume detection in ClutterText using the ink
      rectangle instead of the logical one, to allow glyphs spilling.

    » Fix the can_hardware_repeat wrapper, and avoid the creation of
      multiple weak materials.

    » Fix a leak in the CoglVertexBuffer.
