Release Notes:

- This version is API and ABI compatible with the previous stable

release of Clutter.

- Installing the contents of this release will overwrite the files

from the installation of the previous release of Clutter.

- Bugs should be reported on the Clutter Bugzilla product, at:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=clutter

 

 

• List of changes since Clutter 1.26.0

 

- Accept upper case 'A' when selecting all content in a Text actor

This is similar to what GTK+ allows, and makes it easier to select text

with Caps Lock enabled.

 

- Use GDK API when using Wayland sub-surfaces

The GDK backend on Wayland uses sub-surfaces to allow Cogl to manage the

rendering surface; now that GDK exposes the necessary API, we can avoid

using the Wayland API directly, and instead let GDK manage the surface

for us.

 

- Documentation fixes

 

- Translation updates

Danish, Basque, Chinese (Traditional), Occitan, Indonesian, Polish,

Spanish, Slovak, Kazakh, British English, Croatian, Hungarian, Norwegian

bokmål, Belarusian.
