OpenGL Loader Generator
Oct 16, 2012
Are you tired of OpenGL loaders like GLEW that have huge headers with hundreds of extensions you never use? Plagued by “unresolved externals” and other errors when using OpenGL loading libraries? The OpenGL Loader Generator is a tool that generates a header and source file that you include directly in your project. It gives you the extensions you ask for, without a gigantic 600KB header cluttered with stuff you’ll never use. You just include the files directly in your project, just like regular header and source files. No libraries to build or link to.

OpenGL Example Collection
Oct 16, 2012
The purpose of thise example collection is to provide short and self contained code that showcases OpenGL api functionality/features. The examples have no dependencies on any custom framework or basecode except for “canonical” libraries such as glfw, gl3w and glm. All the examples are written against core profiles of version OpenGL version 3.3 or higher.

A New Linux OpenGL ABI Is Being Proposed
Sep 14, 2012
The Linux OpenGL stack along with the upstream OpenGL specification has been evolving at a fast pace in recent years. There was recently some discussion within the Khronos camp for updating the guide for how to implement OpenGL support on Linux and it’s been decided it will be talked about next week at XDC2012. To get the ball rolling for planning out a new Linux OpenGL ABI, NVIDIA has published a proposal.
