PyOpenGL 3.0.2 (final, finally) has been released. The major changes since 3.0.1 (released in 2010!) are: * OpenGL core support up to 4.3 level [1] * OpenGL extension support from the current registry [1] * Some missing FreeGLUT extensions added * OpenGL.GL.framebufferobjects providing ARB/EXT alternates for framebuffer operations * Experimental OSMesa (Offscreen Mesa) context (use the environment variable PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=osmesa) Codebase changes: * Experimental Python 3.2 and PyPy support * Win64 Support (including OpenGL_accelerate) * Numarray (the ancient transitional module between Numeric and numpy) is no longer supported as an array type * More compact auto-generated wrappers * Large numbers of bug fixes Downloads are at: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyOpenGL/3.0.2 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyOpenGL-accelerate/3.0.2 Future Compatibility Notes: * This will be the last release of PyOpenGL to support Python 2.5 (and it supports Python 2.5 in source-release only mode). o PyOpenGL will be moving to a "shared code" approach for Python 2/3 support, which makes supporting the older Python releases problematic * This will be the last release to support the use of bare numbers as number-array data-types o i.e. passing 1.00 to a function expecting an array/address of an float o Use Glfloat( 1.00 ) to pass in an array-compatible value o Passing in an int/long will generate a GLvoidp( I ) to allow for easy offset-address-style API usage * The ancient Numeric package (as distinct from Numpy) will be dropped as a supported array format o Numeric itself has long since been deprecated, use Numpy Enjoy all, Mike [1] Note: OpenGL extension and higher-level core feature support is auto-generated. As always, we are limited by the number of test programs that exercise more advanced features and the availability of hardware that can support the features on which to test -- ________________________________________________ Mike C.
