API reference: Clutter, COGL

Notes

  • This is the first stable release of the 1.0.x cycle, and the first stable release of the 1.x API cycle.
  • The APIs of Clutter and COGL are now stable.
  • 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).
  • The GL|ES backends are known to be broken; we are currently unable to test them, but we gladly accept patches for them until such time when we are able to resume testing.
  • Bugs should be reported to: http://bugzilla.o-hand.com

What’s new in Clutter 1.0.0

  • For the list of changes since the 0.8 release, please see the previous announcements: 1, 2, 3, 4
  • Allow per-stage disabling of motion event throttling; this should allow platforms or applications that require all the motion events not for drawing purposes to get them exactly like Clutter gets them from the windowing system.
  • Various documentation fixes.
  • Add per-word key navigation inside ClutterText.
  • Fix the RGB<->HLS conversion.
  • Various fixes for the OSX and Windows backends.
  • Various build-related fixes.

Many thanks to all the contributors for the 0.9 development cycle:

    Awesome work. I’ve been waiting for this release for a while, wanting to do some lazy clutter hacking, and not have to worry about api breakage :)

    @mikem: a little bit of patience, please. pyclutter master is already in good shape; clutter-perl will be updated within the week; clutter-sharp is pretty good and up-to-date as well; and aruiz is working hard on clutter-vala.

    @Eon: whoopsie, there was a missing ” in one of the links and it ate part of the post. now the link is visible.

    Fine job as usual! Congratulations.
    Looking forward for clutter-sharp

    I think I’ve found the pyclutter git repo after a LOT of searching, but the README says ./configure;make;make install and theres no configure script. I tried tunning the included ./autogen.sh and it failed. li’l help anyone?

  9. Emmanuele Says:
    July 30th, 2009 at 7:57 am

    @Andre: I’d suggest you wait until pyclutter has been released.

  10. Eon Says:
    July 30th, 2009 at 1:36 pm

    Found it and I will add my congratulations.

    How close is a compatible version of gst-clutter?

  11. Emmanuele Says:
    July 30th, 2009 at 4:32 pm

    @Eon: clutter-gst 0.10 depends on clutter 1.0, and it’s the current stable release. you can find it here

    Would somebody be willing to build a binary release for a poor Windows user? :)

    I’d like to try how Vala + Clutter compares (performance and programming wise) to C# + WPF, but I don’t want to get CygWin and all the stuff to build Clutter + the Vala bindings…

    Thanks in advance! This is the most interesting open-source project I’ve seen in a long time!

    @Martin: you don’t need cygwin to build clutter for windows; you can follow the documentation and use mingw (which has an installer). we’ll try to provide binaries as soon as we can get around to actually create them. :-)

    I was able to build gst ok but I do not have a simple example to test it. Can anyone point me to one? Thanks

  15. Eon Says:
    August 2nd, 2009 at 1:49 pm

    Found the tests built with gst lib and all works well

    Has anyone done a build for ARM/OMAP/BeagleBoard? Thanks

    What about Ruby bindings? They where not mentioned in comments yet :)

    Hi Emmanuele,

    Can you please tell me how much functionality is broken for the GLES backend? I know this is difficult question to answer, but i need some brief as to decide whether to move to 1.0 now or wait for some more time?

    Any information on this would help me a lot.

    Thanks.

  19. Emmanuele Says:
    August 11th, 2009 at 4:14 pm

    @rubyist: you’ll have to ask the Ruby bindings maintainer :-)

    @Rahaman: GLES 2.0 and EGLX have been recently fixed in master. GLES 1.1 has not been tested, and the native EGL on framebuffer has not been updated. updating everything would be a matter of testing and fixing the backends to work with the new COGL journal and after the Backend API changes.

  20. Emmanuele Says:
    August 11th, 2009 at 4:14 pm

    @Rahaman: by the way, if you stay with Clutter 0.8 then be aware that the 0.8 branch will not be updated anymore, and no new releases will be done.

  21. James Mason Says:

    Are the ruby bindings still valid? It looks like they haven’t been updated since 0.4.

  22. Emmanuele Says:
    September 26th, 2009 at 7:50 pm

    @James Mason: you should probably contact Neil, the Ruby bindings maintainer.

    Hi,

    I am trying to install clutter-1.0.0. I’m getting some weird error after ‘make install’

    @siddhi: configure with –disable-introspection. also, clutter-1.0.0 is the first stable relase — you should be using 1.0.8, which is the latest stable release.

    Hi,

    Is it possible to clip stage using clutter_actor_set_clip?
    I want to clip half the stage on a button click

    Thanks in advance
