<p>Pawel started freeglut development on December 1st, 1999. The project is now virtually a 100% replacement for the original GLUT with only a few departures (such as the abandonment of SGI-specific features such as the Dials&Buttons box and Dynamic Video Resolution) and a shrinking set of bugs.</p>
|
||||
<p>There are some additional features such as a larger set of predefined shapes for use in applications.</p>

<p>FreeGLUT 3.0 is in active development, and will feature a port to
|
||||
Android as well as a host of other enhancements. We are looking for
|
||||
developers to help out with further work on the Android port.
|
||||
Furthermore, ports to Cocoa/Carbon on OSX, and maybe even Wayland are
|
||||
planned. For more information, see the <a href="help.php">Help Out

Beucler, but there are <a href=docs/android.php#roadmap>todo

points</a></td><td>Basic functionality as is now done: 3.0. Future

enhancements: 3.0 or later.</td></tr>

cube, cone, etc, as well as the teapot and other parts of the

teaset)</td><td>3.0</td></tr>
|

|

<tr><td>GL2+ and GLES 1/2 clean API for fonts and menus</td><td>Not sure what can be done
|
||||
here really. Menus will continue to work fine with OpenGL 3+ exclusive
|
||||
applications as long as the platform provides legacy contexts, as menus
|
||||
have their own rendering context. For text rendering, its probably best if the
|
||||
user looks at freetype and the like and avoids the use of FreeGLUT's
|
||||
text API</td><td>Probably impossible to do anything here</td></tr>
|
||||
|
||||
<tr><td>At runtime loading of OpenGL, OpenGL ES1 or OpenGL ES2 libraries,
|
||||
like SDL.</td><td>Currently CMake variables define at compile time which
|
||||
of these three the library will be compiled against. No work has been
|
||||
done on moving this to an at-runtime API.</td><td>Having this in 3.0
|
||||
would be nice, but not essential.</td></tr>
|
||||
|
||||
<tr><td>Code reorganized such that platform and display server specific code
|
||||
are decoupled</td><td>Done, thanks John Fay! This already lead to a port
|
||||
to Android and support for GLES 2 on X11 (thanks Sylvain for both!), and
|
||||
paves the way for implementing native OSX and Wayland
|

support</td><td>3.0</td></tr>

|

notifying when position of the window changed.</td><td>3.0</td></tr>
|

<tr><td>
|

<tr><td>Carbon/Cocoa port</td><td>Not started. As Carbon is legacy, one
|

might one to port to Cocoa first or even forget about Carbon all

together.</td><td>Undecided</td></tr>
