• List of changes since Clutter 1.18.0

 

- Fix the list of dependencies

Clutter 1.18 depends on Cogl 1.17.5 when building the EGL/KMS backend.

 

- Fixes for the Visual Studio build files

Use the new symbol visibility annotations when building with MSVC.

 

- Fix event handling on Windows

An optimization led to a crash on the Windows backend when delivering

events without an associated ClutterStage.

 

- Ensure that set_child_above/below work on the Stage

ClutterStage should respect the paint order when using the Actor API.

 

- Skip conformance test suite on X11 when DISPLAY is unset

Instead of bailing out when initializing the test suite we should just

tell the test suite API to skip the units. This allows the TAP driver

to catch the skipped tests and avoid warnings.

 

- Translation updates

Danish, French, Indonesian, Greek.
