Good news! Clutter 0.4.0 is finally out of the door. This new stable release adds a number of fixes to the 0.3.x releases, many API doc updates and improvements, and;

• Display DPI now honours on backends it can be queried.
• Various big endian related fixes.
• ClutterBehaviourEllipse and ClutterBehaviourRotate API and internals improvements.
• Add basic tslib support to eglnative backend (for touchscreen events)
• clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos should now work on 16bpp displays.
• New ClutterEffect rotation calls.
• Allowing user resizing of the stage now optional. (implemented by glx backend only currently)
• ClutterEntry UTF8 fixes and improved automatic initial sizing.
• Make ClutterActor GInitiallyUnowned.
• New ClutterBox API: each box has now a colour and a margin (distance
  between the inner-border and the children); plus, each packed child
  has a padding.

For all the gory details check the README, NEWS and ChangeLog.

The new release is parallel installable with both the 0.2 and 0.3 releases. API churn from 0.3 is pretty minor (see README).
