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 1.13.4

 

- Perform the picking in a separate buffer

By using a separate buffer we can maintain the back buffer in a stable

state, and recycle its contents when doing clipped redraws; this should

improve performance and reduce tearing.

 

- Add experimental API for changing the draw timing

This API can be used to delay the next frame to a specific point in time,

instead of immediately.

 

- Always request XInput 2.3 on the X11 backend

If XInput is available, we should request the latest version.

 

- Translation updates

Serbian, Brazilian Portuguese, Uyghur, Lithuanian, Italian, French,

Polish, Galician.
