A new compatibility release for HOpenGL is about to be unleashed, but before it is "officially" announced, I'd like to get some feedback first. Release candidate 1 is available at: http://haskell.org/HOpenGL/releases/HOpenGL-1.02-RC1.tar.gz If no tragic failures are reported, the "real" 1.02 will follow in the next few days. Thanks to all the people who already gave me valuable feedback in the last few months! Cheers, S. The upcoming announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
