Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: OpenGL 3.0 for the NVIDIA graphics driver 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: John Martin 1.3 Date of This Document: 04 February, 2009 4. Technical Description This project is the delivery of OpenGL 3.0 support in the NVIDIA graphics driver. The scope of the project is specific to NVIDIA as OpenGL 3.0 introduces a new deprecation model where the intent to remove old features in future releases (as early as 3.1) can be declared. The committments to interface stability for this project may not apply to OpenGL 3.0 implementations from other vendors. Each of those may need to be treated as a separate project. Coinciding with the update of the OpenGL specification from 2.1 to 3.0 was the transiton of OpenGL governance from the OpenGL ARB to the Khronos Group. The home page for OpenGL at Khronos is: http://www.khronos.org/opengl As was the practice with earlier versions, the fixed pipeline and shading language specifications are split into separate documents. At the time of this writing the current documents are: OpenGL 3.0 Specification http://www.opengl.org/registry/doc/glspec30.20080811.pdf OpenGL 1.3 Shading Language http://www.opengl.org/registry/doc/GLSLangSpec.Full.1.30.08.pdf New features: ------------- The delivery of OpenGL 3.0 features is completely transparent to existing applications that depend on OpenGL 2.1 and earlier behavior. To use the OpenGL 3.0 features, the application must register intent by using the new context creation call, glXCreateContextAttribsAttribsARB(). If the application uses the established context creation call, glXCreateContext(), it will get OpenGL 2.1 and earlier behavior. Existing applications are shielded from any changes in behavior. Appendix N of the 3.0 Specification lists the new features. Deprecation of old features: ---------------------------- Backwards compatibility has been maintained in OpenGL for 15 years, but it is becoming more difficult to add new features that work with old features. One of the controversial additions to OpenGL 3.0 is declaring certain features as deprecated for removal in future releases. This does not mean 3.0 removes any features, only that they may be removed in a future release. Appedix E of the 3.0 Specification lists the deprecated features. It is important to note the deprecation is optional, so it does not require the vendor remove the features. As of this writing, NVIDIA has stated they have no plans to remove any OpenGL features marked as deprecated, including the upcoming OpenGL 3.1 release. Support: -------- Bugtraq: nvidia/nvidia/opengl Delivery: --------- The interfaces listed below are delivered by the NVDAgraphics SYSV package and the NVDAgraphics IPS package, in conjunction with the ogl-select SMF service [LSARC/2005/700]. There are no name changes to the headers or libraries for OpenGL 3.0 so existing build environments are not effected.
