List of changes since Clutter 1.8.0

Plug memory leaks in ClutterBoxLayout
The list of children retrieved from the container was not being freed in each size negotiation cycle.
Fix the handling of out-of-stage actors in OffscreenEffect
The expansion of the viewport needed for out-of-stage actors when computing the size and position of the offscreen buffer was failing with nested effects.
Do not complete a PaintVolume multiple times
A missing guard was causing the lazily computed vertices of the cube to be trampled over; this caused visual artefacts as the stage-relative bounding box became unstable, leading to the wrong clip region to be used when painting.
Update the MingW cross-compilation script
Updated translations
Danish, Brazilian, Serbian, Punjabi, Telugu, Assamese, German, Oriya, Esperanto, Tamil, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), Catalan, French.
