        [ Special Notes:

        [-]     As I'm updating Guile-Clutter's web pages for this release, I
                still have a pending authorization request to upload the 
release files. So,
                in the mean time, I uploaded them under Grip's dowload area, 
which explains
                the download url refers to grip instead of 
guile-gnome/guile-clutter ...

        [-]     Downloads will redirect to your nearest mirror site.

* About Guile-Clutter:

Guile-Clutter is a Guile wrapper for the ultra-hip Gnome Clutter library!

Clutter is a Scene Graph based canvas working in Retained Mode. Every object on 
the
scene is usually a 2D surface inside a 3D space.

Guile-Clutter brings the power of Guile scheme to your Clutter applications!

Guile-Clutter is part of GNU Guile-Gnome.


* Changes since 1.10.0

The primary objectives, working towards this release, were (a) to remove all 
code
specific to the support of Guile versions prior to Guile 2, (b) removing all 
Guile
deprecated calls, and then (c) wrap Clutter 1.12 of course :)!
