* 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

and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

        gpg --verify guile-clutter-1.12.2.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

        gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys A3057AD7

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Thanks David and the team for making GNOME Clutter available in GNU 
Guile. I really like Clutter (and clutter but that's a story for another 
time). I find that it's the correct level of abstraction for doing 
modern applications. It has no high level widgets but provides a 
flexible API to create your own. I really like it.

Among other things it has bezier lines drawing support via cairo [1], 
bundles a few OpenGL effects like blur or "page turn" and an animations 
helpers. This might sound like toy features, but IMO those pave the 
ground for new GUI paradigms.

Soon more FUI in the wild ;)

Have a look at: http://www.nongnu.org/grip/examples.html

Thanks again!!

[1] I was under the impression that cogl support this natively but it 
seems like the  support did not land upstream yet.
