HOpenGL, a Haskell binding for OpenGL and GLUT version 1.02 I am pleased to announce the thirteenth release of the Haskell binding for GL 1.2.1 / GLU 1.3 / GLUT 3.7beta. It offers easy access to *the* industrial strength 3D graphics API and a GUI toolkit. More details about HOpenGL can be found at http://haskell.org/HOpenGL This is a mainly a compatibility release for >= GHC-5.x, including some minor extensions. What's new: * Added support for 3D textures: texImage3D, texSubImage3D, copyTexSubImage3D. * Added a "make install" target to add a HOpenGL package to GHC. This makes using HOpenGL much easier: A simple ghc -package HOpenGL --make MyCoolApp.hs is enough for most applications. * GLUT exports its own versions of System.exit{With,Failure} now to avoid GHC's problems of those functions if they were issued during callbacks. * Fixed quite a few library incompatibilities for GHC >= 5.02. * Fixed some minor GLU incompatibilities. * Fixed GLUT game mode exports, so you could actually use it now! :-} * Changed configure to detect the native (i.e. non-Mesa) OpenGL as the default. This is more conforming with the OpenGL ABI spec. * Re-animated --with-hc and --with-green-card configure flags. HOpenGL-1.02 has been tested on the following platforms: * ix86, SuSE Linux 7.3, Mesa 3.4.2, bleeding edge GHC from CVS * ix86, Windows 2000, Cygwin (DLL 1.3.10), NVIDIA DetonatorXP * drivers 28.32, GHC 5.02.3 and 5.03-20020204 * SPARC, Solaris 2.7, Mesa 4.0.2, GHC 5.02.3 It should work on any platform with a recent GHC, too. As always, feedback and/or patches are highly welcome. Have fun! Sven
