Clutter 0.7.4 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 0.7.2 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;

• Fix the ClutterEntry actor after the clip API changes in COGL.
• Update the shaders generated for GLES 2.0.
• Add the ability to add search paths and look up files from
  ClutterScript. This allows defining directories to store the
  images to be loaded by a ClutterTexture.
• Fix the GLES 1.1 support.
• Warn if no usable pointer device are available on X11 backends.
• Improve the request for the best pixel format on win32.
• Fix a regression when sizing the ClutterStage on backends that
  only support fixed size stages; now setting any size will result
  in Clutter ignoring the request, like it happened in Clutter 0.6.
• Add a method to ClutterBackend to retrieve the display size.
• Fix clutter_sinx() for angles > CFX_2PI - CFX_ONE
