GL4 #151

Closed polyfloyd closed 10 years ago

polyfloyd commented 10 years ago

I know that the GLEW version will not be bumped until there is a new version of Go available. But can we have a separate branch for a newer version? The code in my gl4 branch is using GLEW 1.10.

I also had the idea to keep OpenGL versions and extensions in their own file. This way developers can easily see which functionality is supported. What do you guys think of this?

I've created a new branch glew-1.10. Could you please fix the tests and pull request to that? Thanks!

Just so you know, I'm not going to want to bump the glew version for a little while (a year?). I want go get github.com/go-gl/gl to work for as many people as possible, which means using version as old as possible until people catch up.

Glew 1.10 has only just appeared in Ubuntu Trusty and Debian is still stuck on 1.7.

But I also don't want to prevent useful contributions, so I think a branch is a good stepping stone for now if that's good for you.

Could I also ask you to add a note in the README about the glew-1.10 branch?

I think you aren't the first person to suggest multiple gl versions in different directories. If there is strong demand I would consider it.
