Clutter Reaches 1.0 Release Candidate Status

nerdyH writes "Intel's interesting 3D UI technology has arrived at a significant milestone. Emmanuele Bassi on Monday released Clutter 1.0rc1, commenting 'This is a development release of Clutter 0.9 leading towards the 1.0 stable cycle. It is the first release candidate for the 1.0.0 release.' Clutter is a centerpiece of Intel's Moblin stack for netbooks, MIDs, and IVIs. It aims beyond the traditional 2D 'desktop' UI metaphor, stepping up to a 'theatrical' metaphor in which 2D interface objects are likened to 'actors' moving around on a 3D 'stage,' with developers in the role of 'director.' Also updated Tuesday: the Clutter-GTK+ library, aimed at helping GTK+ developers Clutter up their existing apps."

    "AC's interesting 1P technology has arrived at a significant milestone. Rob Malda on Monday released Post 1.0rc1, commenting 'This is a development release of Post 0.9 leading towards the Post 1.0 stable cycle. It is the first release candidate for the 1.0.0 release.' In other words, it's yet another bug fix of yet another in a long line of poorly written, cobbled together with duct tape and twine, Open Source Projects.

    Post is a centerpiece of AC's frosty stack for netbooks, MIDs, and IVIs, whatever the fuck those things are. It aims beyond the traditional 'ordinal posts' metaphors, stepping up to a 'theatrical' metaphor in which 1P interface objects are likened to 'gay porn actors' moving around on a 3D 'stage,' with developers in the role of 'fluffers.' In other words, this thing is a massive piece of shit that even it's author cannot justify any need for. Also updated Tuesday: the Cluster-Fuck-GTK++ library, aimed at helping GTK+ developers Cluster-Fuck-Up their existing apps."
