[Glsdk-devel] [GLM] development roadmap

[H. H. <hen...@gm...>]

The mathlib is coming well and the initial API begins to close in for a
conclusion. There are only some issues left in the current implementation
which I want to address before I can say I am completely happy with it. The
gmMatLookAt4f function seems not to create correct kind of results and
glmMatInverse2f/3f needs some attention as the implementations lacks trivial
optimizations. After these issues are resolved and API documentation
written, I think we should release a sort of alpha so that people could
experiment with it.

My roadmap for the GLM development is the following:

v0.1: The initial API fully implemented, tested and documented in API
reference manual.
v0.2: Updated API from the feedback of the community.
v0.5: Additional functionality included; colors, quaternions, planes, matrix
stacks (?) ....
...
v1.0: The API fully implemented, tweaked, updated and tested along with
written programming guide, API reference and samples.

v2.0: SIMD optimization?

I would also like to begin to write the API reference. We should think about
it's layout. I think it's best to adopt GL-like documentation style in which
functions can be documented together, something like:

type glmVecLength{234f} (GLMvec *v)



I hope that somebody with DocBook capabilities could either write me some
boilerplate or instruct me how to write with it.
