news 28 Posted February 1, 2012 Good news, everyone! A new Clutter snapshot is now available at: http://source.clutter-project.org/sources/clutter/1.9/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/clutter/1.9/ SHA256 Checksum: ef2a1cb2b174bf1d461ceedd5c38229f6d2086e72b0188fe71d8081d5ad7e93b clutter-1.9.6.tar.xz Additionally, a git clone of the source tree: git clone git://git.gnome.org/clutter will include a signed 1.9.6 tag which points to a commit named: 75d97ffdc509058915e2eee5c1480d83e6ee7776 which can be verified with: git verify-tag 1.9.6 and can be checked out with a command such as: git checkout -b build 1.9.6 Clutter is a library for creating compelling, dynamic and portable graphical user interfaces. Clutter is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 or (at your option) later. Clutter depends on: GLib ≥ 2.31.0 JSON-GLib ≥ 0.12.0 Cogl ≥ 1.9.4 Cairo ≥ 1.10 Pango ≥ 1.20 Atk ≥ 2.1.5 Clutter also has platform-specific dependencies; for more information, see the README file included in the release. Documentation: Clutter: http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs//clutter/1.9/ Cally: http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs//cally/1.9/ Cookbook: http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs//clutter-cookbook/1.0/ Release Notes: - This is an unstable snapshot of Clutter; there are no compatibility guarantees for API added during a development cycle. - This version is API and ABI compatible with the current stable release of Clutter. - Installing the contents of this release will overwrite the files from the installation of the current release of Clutter. - Bugs should be reported on the Clutter Bugzilla product, at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=clutter • List of changes since Clutter 1.9.4 - Deprecate clutter_actor_show_all() and clutter_actor_hide_all() The latter never did make a lot of sense: hiding the parent will effectively hide the children as well; the former was there only for convenience, but Actors are visible by default. - Gracefully handle existing code The changes in ClutterActor introduced regressions in existing code because of the new functionaly that was introduced to replace deprecated classes like Box and Group. These regressions have hopefully been fixed; Clutter 1.9.6 has been tested with a project as complex as the GNOME Shell. - Fix build with binutils-gold The private dependencies were not used when building Clutter, and this made the Gold linker angry. - Allow tracking of an actor's first and last child ClutterActor has two new properties, :first-child and :last-child; these are read-only properties that can be used by toolkits based on Clutter to track the first and last child whenever they change. - Bump the Cogl dependency The 1.9.4 release depended on Cogl ≥ 1.9.4, but the minimum required version was not bumped along with the changes. • List of bugs fixed since Clutter 1.9.4 [bugzilla.gnome.org] #668137 - FTBFS: pangoft2 check seems to be broken Have fun with Clutter! ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Share this post Link to post
