<th>Feature</th><th>Status</th><th>Milestone</th></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>Android port</td><td>Basic but complete functionality by <a href="http://www.beuc.net/">Sylvain
|
|
Beucler</a>, 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>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>BlackBerry 10 port</td><td>Basic but complete functionality
|
|
by <a href="https://github.com/rcmaniac25">Vinnie
|
|
Simonetti</a>.</td><td>Basic functionality as is now done: 3.0. Future
|
|
enhancements: 3.0 or later.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>callbacks with closures</td><td>Have versions of each callback
|
|
that take an additional void* that is passed back to the user upon
|
|
invocation.</td><td>3.2</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>10bit display formats</td><td>GLUT supports that but FreeGLUT
|
|
currently does not. Unfinished effort to implement <a
|
|
href="https://github.com/dcnieho/FreeGLUT/tree/feature_30bit_framebuffer">here</a>.</td><td>3.0
|
|
or later.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>GL2+ and GLES 1/2 clean API for geometry</td><td>Done for all (geometry like
|
|
cube, cone, etc, as well as the teapot and other parts of the
|
|
teaset)</td><td>3.0</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>handling non-western script input to windows</td><td>For
|
|
Windows, see associated <a
|
|
href="https://github.com/dcnieho/FreeGLUT/tree/feature_IMECHAR_callback">github
|
|
branch</a>. What can be done on the Linux side?</td><td>Figure this out
|
|
for 3.2</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>option to not deinitialize when mainloop terminates</td><td>As
|
|
is often requested, in some usage cases, it would be advantageous if
|
|
FreeGLUT did not automatically deinitialize when its last window is
|
|
closed. This has been implemented, but is awaiting testing on platforms
|
|
other than windows. Discussed <a
|
|
href="http://sourceforge.net/p/freeglut/mailman/message/32926301/">here</a>.</td><td>As
|
|
it has potential complications on mobile platforms, it was decided to
|
|
leave this feature until after 3.0.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>High-DPI awareness.</td><td>As discussed <a
|
|
href="http://sourceforge.net/p/freeglut/mailman/message/30859054/">here</a>,
|
|
it is unclear what should be done. See also associated <a
|
|
href="https://github.com/dcnieho/FreeGLUT/tree/feature_DPI_awareness">github
|
|
branch</a>, though in the end maybe no code has to be added to FreeGLUT
|
|
for this at all, its the host program's responsibility to decide on DPI
|
|
awareness for his work.</td><td>Figure this out for 3.2</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>GL2+ and GLES 1/2 clean API for fonts and menus</td><td>For
|
|
stroke fonts, we can use a similar approach as for the shapes, should
|
|
thus be straightforward. For the bitmap fonts, this is more complex.
|
|
John T suggested "using a glyph atlas texture with GL_STREAM_DRAW VBOs",
|
|
which would get us somewhere. Code could be ripped from his </a
|
|
href="http://nuclear.mutantstargoat.com/sw/libdrawtext/">libdrawtext
|
|
library</a></td><td>The sooner the better, but will have to wait for
|
|
asap after 3.0.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>At runtime loading of OpenGL or OpenGL ES libraries,
|
|
like SDL.</td><td>Currently CMake variables define at compile time which
|
|
of the two the library will be compiled against. No work has been
|
|
done to move this to an at-runtime API.</td><td>After 3.0</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>Code reorganized such that platform-specific and display
|
|
server-specific code are decoupled</td><td>Done, thanks John
|
|
Fay!</td><td>3.0</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>Position callback</td><td>Done: we now have a position callback
|
|
to notify the client when the 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 want to port to Cocoa first or even forget about Carbon all
|
|
together.</td><td>Undecided</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>Wayland port</td><td>Not started.</td><td>Undecided</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>Unicode support</td><td>Not started, we'd need to discuss this
|
|
carefully on the mailing list first to minimize impact on the
|
|
API.</td><td>Undecided</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td>Complete glutInitDisplayString support</td><td>FreeGLUT now only
|
|
partially supports glutInitDisplayString, any spec (comparator and
|
|
value) after each token are ignored. This is a significant way in which
|
|
FreeGLUT is not compatible with GLUT. Could be a nice project for
|
|
someone who want to become familiar with the intricacies of requesting
|
|
specific display formats on at least one of the various window servers
|
|
(Windows, X11 and Android/BlackBerry 10/EGL at the
|
|
moment).</td><td>Undecided</td></tr>
