Clutter 0.7.2 has been released. This is an ‘unstable’ developers release leading towards the eventual stable 0.8 release. This release contains contains roughly all major planned features for 0.8 plus various bug fixes after the 0.7.0 release of last week. The API is not however expected to change heavily between 0.7 and 0.8. Developers are encouraged to test the new release, report bugs and provide feedback. Bindings authors should start their engines and begin wrapping the new API, and provide eventual feedback.

There are new features and improvements in this release including;

• Added XINPUT support on the X11 backends and multitouch events support to the Fruity backend
• ClutterTexture has a new :keep-aspect-ratio property that controls the preferred size of a texture
• A newly written clipping functionality, hopefully fixing some nasty issues there (i.e clipped groups with clipped children).

For more detailed information see the mailing list release announcement and the NEWS file.
