OpenGL 4.4 is launched
- niuzeta 13y agofinally time to get the new red book... grumble
- GuiA 13y agoI don't think there is going to be a redbook for 4.4, seeing as the last edition (for 4.3) was published last April...
- maaku 13y agoWhy miss the chance to milk developers for another $59.99?
- H3g3m0n 13y agoThat one probably took a lot longer as it was a complete rewrite to deal with the core profile. 4.3->4.4 would only have to add the 4.4 stuff in. 4.4 doesn't seem to be a major change. Only adding some buffer stuff, DX10 compatibility and mega-texturing.
- zero_one 13y agoThey probably wont put out another edition just for 4.4. They didn't for 3.3 and after all the complaints the 7th edition received, I doubt they'll put out another insignificant update.
- pjmlp 13y agoThat is why nowadays I only buy technical books in digital format, unless they are only available in dead tree format. The technology to save trees is here, so no need to keep killing them for new versions.
- miga 13y agoLonging for autoupdated e-books?
- comex 13y agoThe discussion on the forum is interesting, especially this post: http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/showthread.php/182296-Official-feedback-on-OpenGL-4-4-thread?p=1252920&viewfull=1#post1252920 http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/showthread.php/18229... (However, it's incorrect regarding patents, as stated later.)
- pjmlp 13y agoNot really, as I can understand from the whole discussion Mesa will need to join Khronos if they ever want to fully implement OpenGL 4.4.
- makomk 13y agoNVidia not playing well with others, trying to make it difficult for other vendors to implement supposedly standardised features. News at 11 ;)
- miga 13y agoEspecially welcome are DirectX-porting helpers. Other changes are performance tuning, as far as I have seen.
