[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.12.4

Hi!

It took quite a lot of silence since the last release in July last
year (mainly because of me being rather busy and also because nobody
complained too much) but finally there's a new release of
libchamplain.

Despite being a minor-version-number release, actually quite a lot of
code was changed. This was mainly because libchamplain has been
updated to use the "modern" Clutter API and get rid of all the
depreciation warnings. So libchamplain depends on Clutter 1.12 now.
The main commit was something like -2500/+500 lines of code so quite a
nice cleanup.

Speaking of cleanups, while migrating to the new Clutter, I realized
that I just keep getting lost in how ChamplainView handles coordinates
and decided to make some further cleanups which hopefully resulted in
much simpler and easier-to-read code in ChamplainView.

As a part of the spring cleaning, I have also removed the libchamplain
git repository from Gitorious. It seems nobody is really using it, I
keep forgetting to push the changes there and when someone submits a
patch there, I'm not notified about the change. It's always possible
to re-create the repository there when needed in the future.

Taking into account the amount of changed lines in this release, there
might be some bugs. But since nobody complained since the announcement
last week, I can expect that either there are no big bugs or that
nobody is using libchamplain any more...

GNOME Shell 3.8.2

About GNOME Shell
=================

GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3
desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME
Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware
and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a
visually attractive and easy to use experience.

Tarball releases are provided largely for distributions to build
packages. If you are interested in building GNOME Shell from source,
we would recommend building from version control using the build
script described at:

 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell

Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly
changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and its
dependencies to build from tarballs.

Mutter 3.8.2

About mutter
============

Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display
engine using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic
inherited from the Metacity window manager.

While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be
used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell. For
this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used
both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management
behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

News
====

* Fix miscellaneous memory leaks [Pavel; #698710]
* Fix binding remaining grabbed after clearing all strokes [Rui; #697000]
* Misc fixes [Stef; #698179]
