[PyOpenGL-Users] PyOpenGL 3.1.0b2 is out

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@vr...>]

I've just released PyOpenGL 3.1.0b2. Barring any show-stopper bugs this 
should be the last beta before the final 3.1.0 release. Changes since 
the last beta:

  * Generation fixes (lots of them)
      o GLES/GL-only extensions should now be generated only in the
        appropriate directories
      o Extensions which are multi-api will show up in each API package
        (note: custom wrappers are still written per-api)
      o Freshly generated wrappers from the khronos API repository
  * Late/lazy binding of all entry points (that is, we do not even
    attempt to resolve any entry point until we try to try to call it)
  * All DLLs are now lazy-loaded, so we can define DLLs and entry points
    without paying for loading them in every script
  * Export the nullFunction method in the OpenGL.platform namespace
  * No longer export DLLs into the OpenGL.platform namespace, these are
    now in OpenGL.platform.PLATFORM (to allow for lazy loading)
  * Setup script fixes for relative filename references
  * Build fixes for cython on OS-X
  * Remove duplicate checking for extension in createFunction()
  * A bit of work on making a GLES2 shader wrapper as in GL
  * Explicitly check for self._noErrorResult in error checkers rather
    than assuming no-error-result is always boolean False
  * Explicitly return self._noErrorResult when error checking is suppressed
  * VBO implementation is now separated out into per-api modules so that
    GLES can eventually get its own implementation
  * OS-X fix for true-core-context with no error checking
  * Refactory the OSMesa context into a platform and a module with the
    extension functions (OpenGL.osmesa)
  * Make most "output" parameters use "orPassIn" flag so that they can
    be *either* generated or passed in
  * Fix for shader log retrieval when using core shader implementation
  * Provide OpenGL and GLES dlls on the EGL and GLX platforms respectively
  * Reinstate intended default for context-checking flag (True)
  * Remove support for extremely old ctypes versions from
    now-unsupported Python versions
  * Accelerate wrappers regenerated with cython 0.20.1

If you have PyOpenGL code, now is the time to test it before the 3.1.0 
release. I still consider the GLES/EGL support to be experimental, so I 
won't treat bugs there as show-stoppers, but if you find GLES or EGL but 
if you find bugs in those I'd love to hear about them (and I'd love to 
have some test code for them as well).

Have fun,
Mike
