0.6702 2013-10-02
General Notes:
* This release fixes some minor build issures for Strawberry Perl 32bit
where the wrong FreeGLUT library would be linked in---this failed at
runtime during the 'perl Makefile.PL' step.
Highlights:
* Clean up INSTALL, README, and bring more up-to-date.
* Put util/strawberry.bat under git configuration management.
* glutCloseFunc() feature has been disabled. A warning is given
the first time the close handler is called.
* Strawberry perl builds are now detected and the build configuration
is corrected. This should allow for automated builds.
0.6701 2013-09-29
General Notes:
* This is a work-around release to work around a problem with
segfaults during the glutCloseFunc() processing. Until a

Highlights:
* glutCloseFunc() feature has been disabled. A warning is given
the first time the close handler is called.
* Strawberry perl builds are now detected and the build configuration
is corrected. This should allow for automated builds.
0.67 2013-07-22
General Notes:
* This is a quick bugfix release to work around a build
problem for Debian sid on AMD platforms.
Highlights:
* Comment out failing tests in t/10_opengl_array.t. Ideally,
we could replace this implementation with something using
pdls instead.
* Some GLUT cleanup for POGL
* Remove GL_TYPE_RGBA_FLOAT_ATI support. The sid debian build
for AMD has problems with this.
0.66_001 2013-06-04
- New example/glxgears.pl ported by Brian Medley (thanks!)
- Removed OS/2 support code (no longer supported)
0.66 2011-07-29
General Notes:
- This test adds skips for some tests from OpenGL::RPN
under current development avoiding FAILs in automated
builds due to known problems.
- It is compatible with the Prima GUI toolkit and the
Prima::OpenGL module.
0.65 2011-07-22
General Notes:
- This is a point release for the Perl OpenGL module (POGL)
with new features, bugs fixed and improved documentation.
- OS/2 is no longer supported by POGL directly.
Highlights:
- Paul Seamons contributed full tessellation support,
documentation for OpenGL::Tessellation, and a *major* set
of fixes and POD for the existing OpenGL::Array module.
- The cygwin build of POGL now supports either the native
win32 platform drivers or the X11/GLX bindings (default).
Use interface=w32api or interface=wgl as args to the
perl Makefile.PL to select. NOTE: you have to pick one
or the other. If you change, any dependencies such as
PDL::Graphics::TriD will need to be recompiled.
- The included FreeGLUT DLL has been upgraded to 2.6.0
thanks to Rob/sisyphus.
- Prima::OpenGL has been released by Dmitry Karasik which
adds support for Perl OpenGL to his cross-platform GUI
toolkit in addition to bug fixes and code cleanup.
Thanks, Dmitry! See http://search.cpan.org/~karasik/Prima-1.30/
for details.
0.64_004 2011-07-18
General Notes:
- This is a CPAN developers release for the OpenGL module.
- It is a snapshot of the current git development tree
and everything may not work correctly or have complete
documentation.
- These release notes may not be fully complete. Please
see the git log for full details.
- All tests may not pass, especially ones corresponding
to issues in KNOWN_PROBLEMS.
Highlights:
- Add META.yml information to the build process
- Fix bug in test.pl
- First POGL code to be placed on new sf.net site.
0.64_003 2011-07-11
This is a CPAN developers release for the Perl OpenGL module with

fixes to check.
Highlights:
- Fix interface=w32api to work for cygwin again. Requires a
current cygwin install---greater than 1.7.x.
- Minor cleanup in Makefile.PL and documentation/readme updates
reflecting the newly set up Perl OpenGL project at sf.net:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pogl/
0.64_002 2011-03-19
This is a CPAN developers release for the Perl OpenGL module with
some minor fixes to improve buildability and updates and bug
fixes to check.
Highlights:
- win32 freeglut.dll has been updated to 2.6.0, the
current stable release.
- Many fixes to OpenGL::Array and new tests for the
functionality. Still in progress but more complete
and correct nonetheless.
0.64_001 2011-03-05
This is a point release for the Perl OpenGL module with
some minor fixes to improve buildability.
Highlights:
- Newly revised GLU tesselation support provided
by Paul Seamons. See examples/tesselation.pl
if you wish to test drive the functionality.
0.64 2010-09-14
- This is a point release for the Perl OpenGL module with
some minor fixes to improve buildability.
- Add Test::More as a prerequisite for OpenGL
(it is used by the tests)
- Work around a gcc 3.2.3 optimizer bug which caused
build failures on some linux systems.
0.63 2010-07-10
- Make glpDisplay() handle all XOpenDisplay input
argument and return the Display structure pointer.
This allows glpDisplay to be used to check for
the ability to open the X display avoiding a
problem with glutInit exiting when no display
is found.
- Remove use Math::Trig from test.pl
- Fix typo reported in OpenGL.pod
- Add /usr/local/freeglut/* to Makefile.PL location
0.62 2009-12-27
Highlights:
- Improved build support for Solaris OpenGL and FreeGLUT libraries.
- Corrected install for win32 DLL.
- Fixed build for AGL to only use AGL, not X11 on Mac OS X.
- Fixed _have_freeglut() checks in test.pl and elsewhere.
- Fix glut_const.h typos that broke some GLUT macros. Exiting
the FreeGLUT event loop should work.
0.61_001 2009-11-16
- Developers release to check out fix for FreeGLUT constants
definitions and some include typos that caused them. If this
tests ok on CPAN Testers, it will become the stable release.
- The fix means that exiting the FreeGLUT event loop should work.
0.61 2009-11-09
- FreeGLUT detection has been improved when both glut.h and freeglut.h
are present on a system.
- Fixed include path problems for glversion on Mac OS X.
- Now builds out of the box on many linux, PC, and Mac OS X systems
as a result of the move to FreeGLUT/GLUT for GUI operations.
- This is the base release for the upcoming PDL-2.4.5 release with
refactored 3D graphics using the Perl OpenGL module.
- Improved Mac OS X build support, especially with GLUT (not FreeGLUT)
and no X11 installed or server running.
- Improved FreeGLUT binding and support for FreeGLUT vs GLUT.
A number of bugs stomped.
- Improved linux/GLX+X11 build support control although FreeGLUT or
GLUT(on Mac OS X) is preferred for full functionality.
- Fixed MinGW detection logic for ActivePerl configurations
- Code clean up and bugs fixed. Many were discovered as a result of
the reconcilliation with PDL::Graphics::OpenGL requirements.
- A few glp*() functions from PDL were added to POGL and confirmed
consistent API with PDL::Graphics::OpenGL
- glpcOpenWindow() is deprecated as an external, user visible function.
The use of glpOpenWindow() is recommended. It provides the exact
same set of options and control.
- Various documentation updates.
- The test.pl demo program now works more robustly.
- The mysterious freeglut font ... not found bug has been fixed!

#ifdef out unglob'ing: symbol not found on Solaris...
0.53 2001-02-26
Correct vertex_array detection in isosample.pl.
Add more vertex_array constants (and move the definition earlier).
Exchange (default) arguments for glp*: move display after window
(should not break old stuff, since there was/is no way to query
the display and window).
New function $d = glpDisplay() (croaks on failure).
Make glpOpenWindow() return the window handle.
New functions with signatures
void glpMoveResizeWindow(int x, int y, unsigned int width, unsigned int height, Window w, Display* display);
void glpMoveWindow(int x, int y, Window w, Display* display);
void glpResizeWindow(unsigned int width, unsigned int height, Window w, Display* display);
(w and display are optional).
0.52 unknown
More of the portability, bug fixes, and examples.
New option -steal for glpOpenWindow() to allow drawing into an
existing window (no "Visual" syncronization yet).
GL_EXT_vertex_array done on the level of cpp.
0.51 unknown
Portability enhancement (X and OS/2 PM), bug fixes, examples enhanced.
_have_glp() should be used instead of _have_glx to test for
presence of glp* functions.
Remap OpenGL 1.1 functions into GL_EXT_vertex_array interface
if needed.
