Acquiring the Clutter lock to mark critical sections is not portable,
and not recommended to implement threaded applications with Clutter.
The recommended pattern is to use worker threads, and schedule UI
updates inside idle or timeout handlers within the main loop. We should
enforce this pattern by deprecating the threads_enter()/leave()
functions. For compatibility concerns, we need internal API to acquire
the main lock during frame processing dispatch.

It is sometimes useful to be able to have better control on when a
repaint function is called. Currently, all repaint functions are called
prior to the stages update phase of the frame processing.
We can introduce flags to represent the point in the frame update
process in which we wish Clutter called the repaint function.
As a bonus, we can also add a flag that causes adding a repaint function
to spin the master clock.
We still ship clutter_get_show_fps() and clutter_get_debug_enabled() as
public entry points. Yet another case of missing API review prior to the
1.0 release, so really the bucket stops around my desk.
Let's deprecate these two useless functions, and reduce the API
footprint of Clutter.
This function should have never been made public in the first place; its
output depends on a configuration option of Clutter, and it's basically
useful only for internal debugging.
Setting the default frame rate does not do anything even remotely
useful, unless synchronization to the vertical refresh rate is also
disabled - which can only be done through environment variable or
through configuration file. Having a programmatic way to change the
default frame rate is, thus, completely pointless.
Changing the default frame rate through environment variable and
configuration file is still allowed.
The number of deprecations in clutter-main.h makes the header harder to
parse, and more confusing. We can use a separate header under the
deprecated subdirectory to hold all the deprecated symbols.
Just like GLIB_DEPRECATED and GLIB_DEPRECATED_FOR, Clutter should have
its own wrappers for G_DEPRECATED and G_DEPRECATED_FOR, to allow opting
out of deprecation warnings.
Deprecation warnings are enabled by default, now, even when building
Clutter.
We already have two mechanisms for controlling the font rendering
quality on a per-application basis:
• ClutterSettings properties
• clutter_backend_set_font_options()
The font flags were always a stop-gap solution, and one that tried to
simplify a fairly complex issue beyond the point of actually being
useful.

The grab API is a relic of Clutter 0.6, and hasn't been through proper
vetting in a *long* time — mostly due to the fact that we don't really
like grabs, and point to the ::captured-event as a way to implement
"soft grabs" in toolkits and applications.
The implementation of full and device grabs uses weak references on
actors instead of using the ::destroy signal, which is meant exactly for
the case of releasing pointers to actors when they are disposed.
The API naming scheme is also fairly broken, especially for
device-related grabs.
Finally, keyboard device grabs are just not implemented.
We can, in one go, clean up this mess and deprecate a bunch of badly
named API by introducing generic device grab/ungrab methods on
ClutterInputDevice, and re-implement the current API on top of them.
GLib deprecated g_thread_init(), and threading support is initialized
by GObject, so Clutter already runs with threading support enabled. We
can drop the clutter_threads_init() call requirement, and initialize the
Big Clutter Lock™ on clutter_init(). This reduces the things that have
to be done when dealing with threads with Clutter, and the things that
can possibly go wrong.
Complete the quest of commit bc548dc862
by making the ClutterStage methods for controlling the per-actor motion
and crossing event delivery public, and deprecating the global ones.
Many people expect clutter_init to work the same way as gtk_init which
exits the program on init failure. clutter_init however returns a
status code on failure which applications need to handle because if
the init fails then any further Clutter calls are likely to crash. In
Clutter 2.0 we may want to change this to be more like GTK+.

This time, in Clutter core.
The ObjC standard library provides a type called 'id', which obviously
requires any library to either drop the useful shadowed variable warning
or stop using 'id' as a variable name.
Yes, it's almost unbearably stupid. Well, at least it's not 'index' in
string.h, or 'y2' in math.h.
Initialize the accessibility support calling cally_accessibility_init
Take into account that this is required to at least be sure that
CallyUtil class is available.
It also modifies cally_accessibility_module_init in order to return
if the initialization was fine (and the name, removing the module word).
It also removes the gnome accessibility hooks, as it is not anymore
module code.

Instead of using PangoDirection directly we should use the
ClutterTextDirection enumeration.
We also need a pair of accessor functions for setting and
getting the default text direction.
Change CLUTTER_PRIORITY_REDRAW to be lower than the GTK+ resize
and relayout priorities to avoid starving GTK+ when run in the
same process as clutter.

Instead of trying to guess about which motion events are
extraneous, queue up all events until we process a frame.
This allows us to look ahead and reliably compress consecutive
sequence of motion events.
clutter-main.c: Feed received events to the stage for queueing.
Remove old compression code. Remove clutter_get_motion_events_frequency()
clutter_set_motion_events_frequency()
clutter-stage.c: Keep a queue of pending events.
clutter-master-clock.c: Add processng of queued events to the
clock source dispatch function.

Sometimes it is necessary for third party code to have a
function called during the redraw process, so that you can
update the scenegraph before it is painted.
The master clock is using the redraw priority to create the source
that will be used to spin the paint sequence if something is being
animated using a timeline.
Unfortunately, the priority is too high and this causes starvation
when embedding into other toolkits -- like gtk+.
Thanks to Havoc Pennington for catching this.
Bug 1495 - Timelines run 4% short
Previously the timelines were timed by calculating the interval
between each frame stored as an integer number of milliseconds so some
precision is lost. For example, requesting 60 frames per second gets
converted to 16 ms per frame which is actually 62.5 frames per
second. This makes the timeline shorter by 4%.
This patch merges the common code for timing from the timeout pools
and frame sources into an internal clutter-timeout-interval file. This
stores the interval directly as the FPS and counts the number of
frames that have been reached instead of the elapsed time.
The hope is that this function makes it easier to extend the font
settings with more flags without having to add a function for every
setting.
A new flag for enabling hinting has been added. If set, this changes
the font options on the global PangoContext and any newly created
PangoContexts. The options are only set if the flag is changed from
the default so it won't override any detailed setting chosen by the
backend.

The threads_enter() and threads_leave() functions are no-ops because Clutter
is not thread-aware nor thread-safe. Leaving them in is a source of confusion
so we just remove them.
Update the NEWS and the README files with the release notes.
Add a semi-private function, called clutter_base_init(), which initialises
the basic Clutter functionalities (at the moment, just the GLib type system)
without calling in the backend-specific code. This function is only useful
for gtk-doc, to introspect the library when generating documentation for
signals, properties and class hierarchy.
Also, change the documentation build system to use clutter_base_init() when
launching the scanner program.
