  • List of changes since Clutter 1.7.90

    - Add debug options to catch out-of-band transformations
    Transformations performed outside of the ::apply_transform() virtual
    function are problematic for Clutter, as they might break paint volume,
    culling, and event handling. The "oob-transform" debug mode will add a
    check and a warning if the expected modelview matrix as computed by
    Clutter is not the current modelview matrix set when painting an actor.
    This debug mode should help when debugging some hard to pinpoint redraw
    issue.

    - Implicitly clip to the stage viewport
    This should avoid degenerate clip regions.

    - Paint editable Text actors even when empty
    If the cursor is visible we need to actually paint it.

    - Do not fall back to the text color for the selection color
    This avoids invisible text in case the selected-text-color property
    is not set in ClutterText.

    - Add a fall back to wildcard source durations in ClutterState
    This allows having wildcard sources to provide a duration for
    other transitions.

    - Translations updates
    Indonesia, Lithuanian, Catalan, Tamil, Slovenian, Hindi,  Kannada.
