Notes

• This is a development release of Clutter 0.9 leading towards the 1.0 stable cycle. It is the third release candidate for the 1.0.0 release: the Clutter high-level API is to be considered frozen, as well as the COGL low-level API.
• This version is fully API and ABI incompatible with the previous 0.8 releases.
• This version is parallel installable with Clutter 0.8.
• Installing this version will overwrite the files from the installation of a git clone of the current development branch (master).
• Bugs should be reported to: http://bugzilla.o-hand.com

What’s new in Clutter 0.9.6

• Add more introspection annotations for language bindings.
• Fix a bug in clutter_animation_set_alpha(), which also broke the clutter_actor_animate_with_alpha() function.
• Check if the stage requires a relayout before showing it; this fixes a bug in the X11-based backends, especially under compositing window managers, where a 640×480 window would flicker before the default stage was shown for the first time.
• Performance fixes for Cogl.
• Sliced textures were broken by the COGL journalling.
• Use the redraw cycle when asynchronously loading textures from files.
• Miscellaneous compilation fixes for the OS X and Windows backends.
• Allow querying from within the paint function of an Actor whether the actor is currently being directly painted or by a Clone actor.
• In the GLX backend, when using the non-implicit sync-to-vblank inside glXSwapBuffers(), call glFinish() to avoid potential tearing.
