= Clutter WebKit port =

The Clutter port of WebKit is a project to provide a web browser actor for [http://www.clutter-project.org Clutter] and an MxWidget for Mx. This port is currently maintained outside of the official WebKit tree.

== Obtaining the Clutter port ==

Currently the port is developed in a git repository at [https://gitorious.org/webkit-clutter/webkit-clutter]

== Building the Clutter port ==

You can use the standard build-webkit script:

 $ ./Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --clutter

Or you can use the standard autotools commands. It is recommended to make a separate build directory setting, like this:

 $ mkdir build[[BR]]
 $ cd build[[BR]]
 $ ../autogen.sh --with-port=clutter[[BR]]
 $ make

== What is coming ==

Now that the base functionality is already there, we are looking at these improvements, in rough order of priority:

- CSS3 transforms, translations and animations: use Clutter to implement those, reusing the animation API and reducing the amount of composition that is currently done with Cairo

- Accelerated composition: the final composition of the page is very slow in cairo, if every layer is a texture (and is cached when possible), that composition can happen in the GPU

- Removing VideoSinkGStreamer.cpp: rendering inline video straight to a texture and compositing in the GPU

- Cogl backend for Cairo: So we move more work from the CPU to the GPU

- WebGL: Reuse the existing implementation with OpenGL to render to a FBO and pass it to Clutter/Cogl for compositing
