    • Something is calling from_param with a second argument, but what is eluding me, allow the second param for now

    …and 60 more.

  15. 3.1.0b2 24 Mar 2014 pre-release
    Commits, not release notes

    This project publishes no release notes. Between release-3.1.0b1 and release-3.1.0b2 there were 96 commits, 96 of them substantive:

    • On EGL platforms, OpenGL may be available, if it is, provide access to it
    • Remove support for extremely old ctypes from python versions we don't support
    • Fix regression where default value of context-checking was flipped
    • OpenGL is a valid api for EGL hosting, use it if available, otherwise es2

    • Eliminate use of old-style print in the PyOpenGL test scripts
    • More fixes for python3 for the test suite
    • Modernize error handling in array data type
    • Only consider non-optional elements in checking argument length
    • Start work on getting orPassIn for output to work, currently just allows for NULL pass-in, but doesn't use a passed-in value (i.e. still generates it even if you pass in a new value).
    • Test handling of orInput array data handlers
    • Do OrInput handling on array data-types
    • Regenerated wrappers
    • Support orinput functionality in the non-accelerated data-paths
    • Add orPassIn to all current setOutput calls, as it makes the api more C-like
    • Starting work on making error handling respect the api source
    • Move error handling to per-api definitions so that GLES uses GLES get error etc.
    • Missing platform import
    • Fix the non-accelerated error checking branch...

    …and 76 more.

    • Switch to modern exception format
    • Python 2/3 run-time determination

    • range vs. xrange
    • Stop use of 2to3 for the project...
    • Don't re-convert the values into unicode afterward
    • No syntax errors, but no pygame means it doesn't run
    • Sigh, apparently ctypes won't auto-convert unicode down, so we're going to get lots of failures :(

  19. 3.0.2 02 Oct 2012
    Commits, not release notes

    This project publishes no release notes. Between release-3.0.2a1 and release-3.0.2 there were 99 commits, 97 of them substantive:

    • Fix the return type for glGetStringi to be more in line with what you would expect...
    • Patch from TJK to provide forward-context-compatible searching for supported extensions
    • Quick little test framework for forward-compatible-only contexts using FreeGLUT
    • Enable error checking on glGetString so that errors will be caught on forward-compatible contexts...
    • Explicitly declare included-by-reference extensions as supported, even if the driver doesn't declare them explicitly
    • Remove unused sys.exit and import shaders
    • Provide a basic wrapper for vertex_array_object
    • Make various array data-type outputs specify their types
    • Guard against changes to the top-level configuration flags after import by importing them all into a separate namespace
    • Check that 3.2 has glGenVertexArrays
    • Version bump
    • Add an osmesa platform driver from [email protected], note that this does not include the trigger that would make all platforms OSMesa, some mechanism will be required to trigger a different platform...
    • Properly register the vbo handlers with late-binding plugins rather than doing their registration at vbo import time.
    • Merge Yuan Xu's further enhancements for OSMesa support
    • Remove some pointless asserts related to extremely old versions of ctypes
    • Implement environment-based selection of PyOpenGL platform plugin as per discussions on mailing list (PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=osmesa)
    • Note todo raised by the osmesa exposure of a raw internal pointer on return... this is the actual implementation data, so you'd likely want to be able to modify and otherwise change it, not just take a copy and return that.
    • Clarify logic in looking up an implementation; check each, assign that, rather than using negatives and winding up broken on non-forward-compatible implementations.
    • Update with current glext.h spec...
    • Rework the auto-generation code to be a lot more compact in its declarations

    …and 77 more.
