Changes

  • The libOSMesa library version has been reverted to 6.5.3 (soname=6) in order to avoid application linking issues. Otherwise, applications previously linked with libOSMesa.so.6 would no longer link with libOSMesa.so.7

  • Dropped obsolete, unmaintained Windows project files for VC6 and VC7.

To Do (someday) items

  • Switch to freeglut

  • Fix linux-glide target/driver.

  • Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
