First of all thanks for all the hard work.

In the official images the opengl version supported is at least 3.3 but the images generated by you supports only opengl version 2.0 and its really hard these days to go back to version less than 3.0 for opengl.

Is there any way to upgrade supported opengl version and glsl version.

Technically these card don't support OpenGL, they support Open GL ES. There's an interpreter library called GL4ES that basically creates a wrapper around the GLES calls and provides applications with the ability to use OpenGL by calling the GLES instructions behind the scenes.

I will definitely continue to investigate upgrades available to support newer versions of OpenGL.
