  • List of changes since Clutter 1.20

    - Use the GDK backend by default when available
    The GDK backend has seen massive improvements in this cycle, and it is
    now the preferred backend on Linux; this will improve integration of Clutter
    applications on the running platform, and improve the integration between
    Clutter and GTK+ applications.

    - Improve the size negotiation for constraint and content implementations
    ClutterConstraint implementations can now influence the preferred size of
    the actor to which they are applied, just like they can do for the
allocation.
    ClutterActor instances can also request a size by using the ClutterContent
    implementation's preferred size.

    - Improve input device handling on X11 and evdev.

    - Add a new experimental Mir windowing system backend.

    - Support stereo framebuffers when using the X11 backend.

  • List of changes since Clutter 1.21.8

    - Improve pointer tracking in the evdev input backend
    Do not use the events after the queue processing, to avoid dropping events
    due to compression.

    - Fix handling of multiple stages with the GDK backend
    A regression introduced when the GDK backend implemented its own master
    clock using GdkFrameClock prevented applications with multiple stages to
    be updated properly.

    - Updated translations
    Kazakh, Aragonese, Indonesian, Danish, Turkish.

  • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.21.8

    #746575 - cally-actor: Don't assume X11 backend is used when supported
    #746328 - evdev: Keep track of the pointer coordinate ourself
