Clutter 1.25.2 Brings The Wayland GDK Support On Par With X11

Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 17 December 2015 at 10:39 AM EST. Add A Comment

Clutter 1.25.2 was released this morning by Emmanuele Bassi as the first development release of this tool-kit since Clutter 1.24.

Clutter 1.25.2 now takes into account the scaling factor on Wayland with GDK, which is now said to put the Wayland support inside the GDK back-end on par with the X11 back-end. Clutter 1.25.2 also brings improvements to its evdev input backend handling, allows overriding the Cogl driver on systems where there are multiple OpenGL / OpenGL ES implementations, and the windowing system back-end selection has been reworked.

More details on the Clutter 1.25.2 development release working towards Clutter 1.26 can be found via this change-log.
