hi everyone;
slightly late report after the holidays break - hope you all had a nice
time.
= development branch: (master) =
+ merged branch 'units-rework'
- this branch fixed some improper internal usage of the Unit type
and it makes changing the internal implementation of a ClutterUnit
safe
+ merged branch 'text-actor'
- the 'text-actor' branch contained the ClutterText actor, a
replacement of both ClutterLabel and ClutterEntry; ClutterText
is a drop-in replacement for everything that ClutterLabel and
ClutterEntry currently provide -- plus multi-line editing and
selection.
- some bugs are still present, especially with selection handling
and key navigation
+ merged branch 'animation-improvements'
- this branch included improvements to the new implicit animation
API as discussed in bug 1014, including setting custom progress
functions for GTypes and overriding the animation progress by
using a new, ClutterAnimatable interface
+ merged branch 'multiple-texture-rectangle'
- this branch contained new API that allowed uploading multiple
texture rectangles in one operation; this should speed up text
rendering on GL by a factor of 2x-2.5x by uploading multiple
glyphs at the same time (see bug 1289)
+ fix for a race condition on X11
- Clutter called glViewport() before knowing that the Drawable
had been effectively resized by X; the code has now been reworked
so that glViewport() is only ncalled when a ConfigureNotify event
has been called; this requires an update in the integration
libraries for embedding a Stage into another toolkit. clutter-gtk
HEAD has already been fixed
= experimental branches =
+ new experimental branches for 1.0 features that are going
to be merged or are being considered for merging:
- 'async-textures' -- a branch for adding threaded loading
of textures from disk
- 'units-to-float' -- a branch changing the ClutterUnit typedef
to single precision floating point
- 'cogl-float' -- a branch dropping fixed point from COGL whenever
it does not make sense; the fixed point types and API is still
available for embedded platforms to use
= stable branch: (clutter-0-8) =
+ backported a variant of the X11 race fix
= releases =
+ the tentative relese plan for Clutter 1.0 is:
- Clutter 0.9.0 is scheduled for the end of this week; this release
will be "API slushy" (mostly frozen, except for API fixes)
- Clutter 0.9.2 is scheduled for 2009-01-30; this release will be
API frozen
- Clutter 0.9.4 is scheduled for 2009-02-13; will be the 1.0.0-rc1
- Clutter 1.0.0 is scheduled for 2009-02-27
= bugzilla =
+ 118 bugs opened against Clutter core
+ 10 bugs with 0.8 target milestone (bugs that can, or may be fixed in
'master' and backported to the current stable branch)
+ 16 bugs with 1.0 target milestone (bugs that should be fixed in
'master' before 1.0.0 is released)
ciao,
Emmanuele.
