GLUT Change Log
================

NOTE:  This document is potentially incomplete.

GLUT 3.6 -> 3.7
----------------

  o  Port of IRIS GL newave "wave physics" demo by Erik Larsen
     (cayman@sprintmail.com).  Look in progs/demos/newave

  o  Fixed a performance bug in progs/advanced/rts.c that eliminates
     one full shadow volume rendering pass.  If you have the silhouette
     shadow volume geometry, you can use GL_INVERT and draw the shadow
     volume with a single pass with both front & back faces enabled
     instead of two distinct passes for front and back as would be
     needed if GL_INCR/GL_DECR were used.  Also fixed the near and
     far clipping planes for better depth precision with 16-bit
     depth bufffers.

  o  Improve the efficiency of Win32's wglMakeCurrent calls.  It
     turns out that Microsoft does not "short circuit" a redundant
     wglMakeCurrent (ie, if you make current to the same context
     and same DC you are already bound to, it is not a no-up).
     Now, GLUT uses wglGetCurrentContext and wglGetCurrentDC to
     determine when not to redundantly call wglMakeCurrent.

     This also reduced the calling of GetDC within Win32 GLUT.

     Note that the GLX version still assumes that a redundant
     glXMakeCurrent is short circuited.

  o  Added lib/glsmap library for dynamic real-time sphere mapping.
     See the demos in progs/spheremap/glsmap

     Builds for N32, O32, and N64 for IRIX.

     rtsmap has an environment reflected in a sphere, teapot, or
     icosahedron (8 passes).  Very cool.  fakeraytrace goes one
     step further and has two reflective objects, then does an
     extra recursive pass so that one of the spheres is actually
     reflecting the reflection in the other sphere.  Wow.

  o  Man pages updated.

     Version number in man pages changed to 3.7.

     My email address changed to mjk@nvidia.com

     New man pages:
       glutEnterGameMode
       glutForceJoystickFunc
       glutGameModeGet
       glutGameModeString
       glutIgnoreKeyRepeat
       glutJoystickFunc
       glutKeyboardUpFunc
       glutSetKeyRepeat
       glutSpecialUpFunc

     Updated man pages:
       glutDeviceGet
       glutGet
       glutSolidTeapot

  o  Updated the ./linux/* files for GLUT 3.7.

  o  The GLUT library should compile with a C++ compiler now.  I make
     no promises that the entirety of GLUT can compile with a C++
     compiler though.  Brian Paul wanted this for Mesa which does
     expect to build with a C++ compiler.  Christoph M. Hoffmann
     <cmh@cs.purdue.edu> brought up this issue.

  o  Added proto dynamic sphere mapping programs in
     progs/spheremap/hacks to help you understand the steps in
     making a dynamic sphere map.

  o  Added program demonstrating window space texture coordinate
     generation at progs/advanced/texwinalign.c; demonstrates how
     texture matrix can be be used to generated texture coordinates
     in window space.

  o  The -iconic command line option works for Win32 GLUT programs
     now.  The new test28 actually tests the -iconic command line option.

  o  Added the glutGameModeString, glutEnterGameMode, glutLeaveGameMode,
     and glutGameModeGet calls for "full screen" game mode display
     change switching.  Only the Win32 implementation really does
     display mode changes.  See lib/glut/glut_gamemode.c

  o  Several demos added a -fullscreen option to use the new GLUT
     game mode functionality.  I generally also fixed these to
     match the window aspect ratio.  Examples:  underwater, txfdemo

  o  Sort of fixed how WM_ACTIVATE messages get processed in the
     Win32 GLUT implementation.

  o  Moved the Win32 WinProc function out of win32_util.c into
     its own win32_winproc.c file.

  o  Building the GLUT library debug for Win32 works now (changes
     to the Makefile.win setup).

  o  Added a poor man's stereo example by Walter Vannini
     (walterv@jps.net, waltervannini@hotmail.com).  The idea
     is to draw the left eye in red and right eye in blue
     and use cheap red/blue filter stereo glasses to see
     the stereo separation.  See progs/advanced/redblue_stereo.c

  o  Improve GLUT static library implementation.  Now if you don't
     use the GLUT menu API, you don't get this code included in your
     binary.  Reduces GLUT program text size by 25% for such non-menu
     GLUT programs.

  o  Add gleGetNumSlices and gleSetNumSlices entry points to control
     the tessellation level (previously, always a constant 20).

  o  Improved dependencies in SGI Makefiles in lib/*/Makefile.sgi

  o  Added progs/gle/martini.c example.  Spinning martini glass.

  o  Should work on VMS 7.0.  Changes suggested by Jouk Jansen
     (joukj@crys.chem.uva.nl).  Mainly changes to GLUT library itself
     to deal with VMS 7.0's POSIX-compliant support for gettimeofday.

  o  Added GLUT version of "skyfly" terrain fly over demo.  See
     progs/demos/skyfly

  o  Update of GLUT frequently asked questions.  See FAQ.glut

  o  Added workaround to real-time shadow demos so they work on old
     (pre-IRIX 6.5) Octane and Impact systems.  The work around makes
     sure the feedback buffer is always at least 2048 entries big to
     force use of software feedback.  See progs/advanced/rts.c and
     progs/advanced/shadowfun.c

  o  Add work-around in hello2rts for Riva 128 and 128 ZX to make
     hello2rts start by default with the stencil invariant hack
     enabled.  This makes sure that hello2rts use the software
     rasterizer for all rendering so the shadows look right.  Other
     platforms may need this support.  There is a menu option to
     flip it on if need be.

  o  Added a "win32pfd" (Win32 Pixel Format Descriptor) capability
     name for the Win32 version of GLUT's glutInitDisplayString
     parser.  This lets you select a specific pixel format descriptor,
     much as "xvisual" allows one to do with X11.  This is intended
     to facilitate benchmark construction with GLUT where particular
     PFDs can be selected for benchmarking or testing.  Also documented
     on glutInitDisplayString man page.  Win32 GLUT only.

  o  Add glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_FORMAT_ID) to return the window system
     dependent window format ID (Visual ID for X11; Pixel Format
     Descriptor Number for Win32).  This should help people be able
     to report bugs and now precisely what format ID they are
     testing and/or benchmarking.  Note that these values can change
     between X servers, hardware, and OpenGL implementations.

  o  Fix glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_COLORMAP_SIZE) bug in X11 GLUT
     implementation.  The routine now correctly returns the colormap
     size of the current layer (previously it returned the size
     of the normal layer which was a totally bogus value for an
     RGBA normal layer).

  o  Fixed SEE ALSO section of glutDeviceGet man page.

  o  glutInitDisplayString now knows how to use the SGIX_fbconfig
     extension to access 16-bit StaticGray luminance visuals.
     These high-resolution luminance (1 component) visuals are
     excellent for medical imaging applications that need the
     16 bits per pixel resolution.

     To get a luminance window, do:

	glutInitDisplayString("luminance");

     Note that few systems actually support 16-bit luminance visuals.
     InfiniteReality does.  I'm not aware of any other systems that
     do.

  o  Added missing GLUT entry points to the GLUT Ada binding
     and interface files.

  o  Added progs/demos/sysview, an IRIX operating system 3D
     monitor.  Only compiles on SGI machines, though it could
     easily be adapted to other operating systems.  Courtesy
     of Javier Velasco <fjvelasco@sfe.indra.es>.

  o  Win32 GLUT didn't generate keyboard callback for Delete key
     (ascii 127) before; now it does.
 
  o  Fix warning in glut_input.c when compiling on Alpha due
     to XInput extension API snafu.  Pointed out by Tom Holroyd
     <tomh@taz.ccs.fau.edu> compiling on a Linux Alpha machine.

  o  Fixed bug reported by Rune Hasvold <runeh@ifi.uio.no> in
     win32_glx.c where Win32 GLUT was always requesting a 1
     bit depth buffer at least.  Now, GLUT requests zero bits
     of DEPTH unless you request a depth buffer.  Apparently
     this bug was fixed in the Mesa version of GLUT a while
     back, but didn't get to my GLUT source until now.

GLUT 3.5 -> 3.6
----------------

  o  The GLUT .zip file now has "Makefile" be a copy of "Makefile.win"
     instead of "Makefile.sgi".  This makes it easier for Win32 GLUT
     users to just do an "nmake" to build GLUT.

  o  Updated various README files for GLUT 3.6.

  o  Update GLUT man page revs to say 3.6.

  o  Fixed bug in Win32 accumulation buffer allocation code.  Thanks to
     Nate and Layne Christensen <lchriste@es.com>.

  o  Fix bug in Win32 GLUT where pushing/popping a subwindow would
     also reposition the window to its parent's origin.  Now, push/pop
     operations do not disturb the window position.

  o  Fix all VC++ Win32 warnings and improve the GLUT.DLL speed
     and size by macro'izing Xlib routines and eliminating X11-only
     functionality from the Win32 version of the library.

  o  Fixed various bugs in Win32 GLUT menu handling.  The glutChange*
     and glutRemoveMenuItem routines should work pretty well now.

  o  Fix Win32 GLUT bug where a reshape did not properly result in
     repair-damage, ie. glutLayerGet(GLUT_NORMAL_DAMAGED) didn't work
     right in GLUT 3.5.

  o  The "walker" demo's win32_dirent.h code got update to read directory
     correctly for Windows 95 (does Win32 FindFirstFile on "." operate
     differently from Windows NT?  It seems like "*" works the way "."
     should.)

  o  X11 GLUT now detects when you set up an infinite loop due to
     recursive submenu nesting.  In previous GLUT implementations,
     this could lead to an infinite loop with the X server grabbed;
     now it leads to a GLUT fatal error.
     
  o  GLUT now exits with a fatal error if glXCreateContext (or
     wglCreateContext) fails instead of crashing.

  o  Win32 "make test" infrastructure in place.

  o  Ideas in Motion demo builds better now.

  o  Substantially improve the performance of glutSolidTorus and
     glutWireTorus by using quad strips instead of independent quads.
     Also, generally made the looping more efficient.  Thanks to
     Emmanuel Maa BERRIET (eberriet@sky.fr) for pointing out the
     inefficiencies.

  o  Include Linas Vepstas's GLE library with GLUT (based on GLE 2.2.6).
     Includes man pages at man/gle and examples at progs/gle
  
     The GLE Tubing and Extrusion Library is a graphics application
     programming interface (API). The library consists of a number of
     "C" language subroutines for drawing tubing and extrusions.

     Several bugs in GLE 2.2.6 are fixed here, particularly to make
     GLE work well under Win32.

  o  Fixed bugs in MUI so that it can support multiple user interface
     windows.  Added muiAttachUIList to associate a UI list with a GLUT
     window.

  o  More MUI enchancements to allow "disabled" greyed-out UI elements
     courtesy of Tom Davis.

  o  gliq, a pegboard game of IQ by Kiri Wagstaff, is at progs/demos/gliq

  o  Add Nate Robin's port of the IRIS GL bounce program to OpenGL; see
     progs/demos/bounce (includes a slider GUI element).

  o  Add Nate Robin's "smooth" 3D object viewer without automatic nice
     normal generation.

  o  glflare, an OpenGL version of the D3D flare idea by Stephen Coy of
     Microsoft.  See progs/demos/glflare

  o  Resolve gcc warnings (picky, picky) in lib/glut.  This includes
     not relying on the libc having strdup (not required by ANSI C or
     POSIX).

  o  Fix array bound overflow bug in progs/examples/stars.c

  o  Handle fopen failure in progs/texfont/gentexfont.c

  o  Add many more Ada GLUT examples; see progs/ada

  o  Support X11R6's XK_KP_* keysyms for the keypad.  Previously,
     the Home,Left,Right,etc keys on the numeric keypad (when num lock
     is off) got ignored.  Now they should work.  Thanks to Paul
     Henning (phenning@cs.uiowa.edu) for pointing out this problem.

  o  It is now possible to catch a Unix signal in a signal handler and
     add a glutIdleFunc and know that the GLUT main loop will
     immediately drop out of waiting for the event and call the idle
     callback.  This makes it possible to reliably respond to signals
     from within a GLUT program.  (Just on Unix systems, not Win32.)

  o  Added progs/demos/lorenz, Lorenz Attractor Demo.

  o  Added progs/examples/editgrid.c

  o  Improved progs/mesademos/texobj.c

  o  Fixed progs/redbook/surface.c to request a depth buffer.

  o  Added progs/advanced/pointburst.c demonstrating a particle system.

  o  Added progs/advanced/sgiflag.c demonstrating dynamic real-time
     NURBS trimming.

  o  progs/advanced/envmap.c supports OpenGL 1.1 now.

  o  Fix GLUT library compilation problem on DEC Unix 4.0 on Alpha
     machines reported by Ray S. Babcock (babcock@cs.montana.edu).
     See glut_dstr.c

  o  Fix single buffered GLUT programs that needed to be calling
     glFlush at the end of the frame.  Reported by
     fossum@austin.ibm.com (Gordon C. Fossum).

  o  Fix Fortran build error under IRIX 6.5 (use sed instead of grep).

  o  Use "-Wl,-ignore_unresolved" SGI linker option to get around
     problems in buggy SGI OpenGL Fortran bindings having extension
     routines that are not implemented in the supplied OpenGL.

  o  Added Brian Paul's marvelous Blue Pony demo in demos/bluepony

     I had requested a Blue Pony from SIGGRAPH as one of my "special
     needs" for our SIGGRAPH '97 "OpenGL and Window System Integration"
     course.  Brian came through with this virtual Blue Pony.  Thanks,
     Brian!

  o  Fixed a problem in test/glut/bigtest.c where if it ran too
     long, it would stop rotation due to numeric problems.

  o  Make new glut_swap.c and glut_cmap.c files to help keep
     glutSwapWindow and the color index GLUT entrypoints out of
     statically linked GLUT programs that do not use these routines.

  o  Fix many warnings.

GLUT 3.4 -> 3.5
----------------

  o  Henk Kok (kok@wins.uva.nl) contributes another cool demo.  See
     progs/demos/opengl_logo

  o  README.win32 now named README.win

  o  Add the MUI (micro-UI) library developed for GLUT experimentally
     based on SGI's Showcase user interface library.  This code was
     developed by Tom Davis (davis@sgi.com).

  o  The test directory now has subdirectories.  test/glut has
     all the previous GLUT API tests.

  o  Added menus to progs/advanced/projtex.c

  o  Added tiffsift.c showing how to do "sifting" texture distortions
     with OpenGL's third texture coordinate.

  o  Improve lib/glut/glut_menu.c by having the code check if the
     default visual is in the overlay so that it will get chosen
     as the pop-up menu visual to minimize colormap flashing.
     Suggested by Thomas Roell (thomas@xig.com).

  o  Fix bug in glutStrokeLength and glutBitmapLength reported by Tom
     Carroll <carroll@fp.com>.

  o  Added shadowfun.c, boundary.c, hello2rts.c and rts.c as
     examples of how to do fancy stenciled shadow volumes.  See
     the progs/advanced subdirectory.

  o  Now man pages get installed with "glut" suffix.  Should avoid
     situations where GLUT's intro.3 clobber's systems intro.3
     because GLUT should now install intro.3glut

  o  Changes to Glut.cf for Digital Unix (Alpha) suggested by
     Dr Andrej Panjkov (A.Panjkov@latrobe.edu.au).

  o  Added demos/chess and demos/rollercoaster demos written by
     Henk Kok (kok@wins.uva.nl).  Very nice.

  o  Michael Gold's "rasterization only" demo uses OpenGL as just
     a rasterization interfaces.  See progs/advanced/rasonly.c

  o  progs/demos/underwater shows OpenGL-based rendering of underwater
     caustics effects.  Very cool!

  o  Added progs/perf_harness directory with an example of how
     to create an application specific GLUT-based OpenGL benchmark.

  o  Remove lib/glut/cannotate.c from distribution (no one should care).

  o  Portability improvements throughout, particularly to Win32.

GLUT 3.3 -> 3.4
----------------

  o  Add glutStrokeLength and glutBitmapLength calls to glut.h
     (previously undocumented).  Will be documented part of GLUT 4
     API.

  o  Added man discussion of glutStrokeLength, glutBitmapLength,
     and glutWarpPointer.

  o  Used ANSI C "const" keyword in glut API and implementation
     as appropriate (this helped make Ada binding generation
     easier).

  o  README.win32 added; this is from Nate Robins's GLUT 3.3
     Win32 distribution.

  o  SGI Makefiles use $(TOP)/glutdefs for shared GLUT-related
     macros.

  o  Add workaround for Microsoft's OpenGL 1.1 implementation.
     MS OpenGL 1.1 does not advance the raster position by the
     xoffset and yoffset of glBitmap if the specified bitmap
     has a width or height of zero (it is just a no-op); this is
     not what OpenGL specifies.  I've fixed the GLUT bitmap fonts
     to not use null bitmaps #ifdef WIN32 and instead use a 1x1
     bitmap with not bit set.  capturexfont.c has been changed to
     generate code with the #ifdef WIN32 workaround.

  o  Fix bug in -geometry handling for negative window positions.
     Now "-geometry 400x500-23-34" does not crash GLUT programs.

  o  Makefile support for SGI machines so that you can set your
     OBJECT_STYLE environment variable to one of SGI's various ABIs
     and ISAs.  This can let you compile GLUT fully 64-bit with
     R10K instructions or mereley old 32-bit ABI.  For example,
     to compile N32 with only R4K instructions, do a
     "setenv OBJECT_STYLE N32_M3".

  o  Put header files in include/GL instead of GL - this would make
     it esier to support other libraries within the GLUT distribution
     (possibly libtiff) that wouldn't want a header to be in the GL
     subdirectory.

  o  Add GLUT 4 glutReportErrors entry point.

  o  New cool game-oriented rendering demos: dinoreflect.c dinoshade.c
     and halomagic.c

  o  Support HP's Color Recovery System since Mesa uses it.

  o  Add the libtiff examples in progs/tiff:  showtiff, writetiff,
     and textiff

  o  Add the new OpenGL Programming Guide 2nd Edition examples to the
     GLUT distribution.

  o  added progs/mesademos/trdemo.c - Brian Paul's tiled rendering demo.

  o  added progs/demos/geoface - facial animation demo.

  o  no long export internal symbols in libglut that should have been static.
     See lib/glut/Makefile.sgi's "make symcheck" rule.

  o  glutInitDisplayString implemented.  See test23.  Also works automatically
     with Mesa.

  o  Added popup menu overlay color cell allocation logic for Sun's
     Creator hardware.  See test24.

  o  Enhanced tests and fixed messages in a few places.

GLUT 3.2 -> 3.3
----------------

  o  The SGI Makefiles always build O32 executables.  In IRIX 6.4, the
     default executable type changes to N32; to avoid Makefile
     sommersaults, we just keep use at O32.

  o  Get rid of all the __glutFatalError calls in the GLUT test suite.
     Naughty to be using a GLUT internal function.

  o  Introduced some new entry points that will be part of the official
     GLUT 4 API when it is finalized for video resize & window status.
     The video resize API is useful for hardware with full screen
     video resize (ie, InfiniteReality).  The window status callback
     extends the information of the previous visibility callback to
     tell you when the window is fully vs. partially visible and
     when the window is hidden vs. fully obscured.  GUIs typically want
     to know when a window gets unmapped; programs that rely on a
     fully unobscured frame buffer (such as histogram occlusion culling)
     need to know when the window is fully visisble.

  o  progs/advanced/occlude.c demonstrates a histogram based occlusion
     culling technique.  It requires support of the histogram extension
     and works best on a machine like RealityEngine.
  
  o  glutSolidCube and glutWireCube efficiency improved.
 
  o  Added progs/examples/cube.c - simple demo to draw a 3D cube.

  o  Fixed warning message from glutSetWindow.
  
  o  glutFullScreen called on a window before it is mapped now
     properly overrides the WM_NORMAL_HINTS to ensure that the window
     is positioned at 0,0 (ie, no random or interactive placement
     by the window manager).

  o  For IRIX 6.3 and IRIX 6.4, eliminate X server routine trips for
     interning atoms using SGI's fast atoms optimization.

  o  Added a GLUT introduction man page.  Either "man glut" or "man intro".

  o  Previously, timer callbacks could be starved by continous X
     events.  Now, timer callbacks and X event processing are handled
     at the same priority.  test/timer_test.c helps verify the improved
     behavior.

  o  Add IAFA for submitting GLUT to sunsite.unc.edu for anonymous
     ftp; based on Mesa version.

  o  SGI Makefiles work with MIPS 7.10 compilers now.

  o  Fixed more warnings.

  o  advanced: Fixed overlay bug in zcomposite.

  o  demos: Fixed OpenGL bug in glutmech.

  o  demos: Fixed atlantis to have a more reasonable near/far range for
     machines with limited depth buffer resolution (<=16 bits).

  o  Improved comments in places.

  o  libglut: Fixed message if Motif atom intern'ing failed for fullscreen.

GLUT 3.1 -> 3.2
----------------

  o  Complete Unix-style nroff man pages for all the GLUT library
     routines.  See README.man for details.

  o  Implement the MESA_SWAP_HACK.  If you set the MESA_SWAP_HACK
     enviornment variable and you are using Mesa, GLUT will attempt
     to simply do a glXSwapBuffers to repair damage to a double
     buffered GLUT window that appears to have been last displayed
     using a glutSwapBuffers call.  This can *greatly* improve the
     redraw performance of GLUT programs running under Mesa when
     they are damaged (for example by popup menus that are not in
     the overlays).  See lib/glut/glut_mesa.c  This idea was suggested
     by Brian Paul on the Mesa mailing list.

     Note that some poorly behaved (probably buggy, actually) GLUT
     programs may no redraw correctly with MESA_SWAP_HACK.  The
     optimization relies upon your display callback being idempotent
     and that the window is not otherwise rendered to by other
     callback routines.

  o  Port Brian Paul's various Mesa 2.0 demo programs to use
     GLUT: bounce, gamma, gears, isosurf, offset, reflect,
     spin, tess_demo, texobj, & winpos.  The reflect program
     is definitely worth checking out.

  o  Include GLUT examples presented by Tom McReynolds and
     David Blythe at the "Advanced OpenGL Rendering" course at
     SIGGRAPH '96.

  o  Add progs/examples/simple.c showing how to simply draw
     a single triangle with OpenGL.  How long would an equivalent
     Direct3D immediate program be?  Much longer...

  o  Screen door transparency example using polygon stippling
     based on code from Tim Hall.  progs/examples/screendoor.c

  o  Fix bug where glutRemoveMenuItem about recalculating
     the menu's width in pixel that would sometimes cause an
     X protocol error.

  o  Make sure that when a popup menu is finished that if the
     initiating window has an overlay, the overlay colormap
     is installed.  An overlay popup menu could otherwise knock
     out the window's overlay colormap.

  o  Fix an "off by one" error in the window number printed out
     in a fatal error message when a redisplay is generated on
     a window without a display callback.

  o  Make consistent puncutation in some fatal error messages.

  o  Some work to make example programs easier to build on
     Windows NT and 95 (probably not complete; report bugs
     please).

GLUT 3.0 -> 3.1
----------------

  o  The various shape rendering routines use single
     precision instead of double precision.

  o  The box shape rendering routines don't generate
     redundant normals.

  o  Make glutExtensionSupported more robust.

  o  Added test20 for glutExtensionSupported.

  o  Fixed Makefile in /usr/share/src/GLUT images.

  o  Fixed multisample complication bug in dinospin.c

  o  Fixed multiple includes in moth.c

  o  Add contribed steam.c and glutmech demos (cool!).

  o  Added fontdemo and evaltest in progs/examples.

  o  Fix an HP/UX compilation problem with libglut.a

  o  Fix GETTIMEOFDAY macro to take two args on a Sun.  Why does
     Sun claim to be SVR4 when they have a BSD (2 parameter
     gettimeoday)?

  o  Add an #ifdef to glut_win.c for working around Solaris
     2.4 and 2.5 bug in XmuLookupStandardColormap.

GLUT 2.3 -> 3.0
----------------

  o  Major version change so GLUT 3.0 does have API additions!

  o  Added yacme (yet another colormap editor) demo by Patrick Bouchaud
     (SGI Switzerland).

  o  Updated glut.h so that GLUT_XLIB_IMPLEMENTATION=5 for 3.0
     and GLUT_API_VERSION=3 for 3.0.

  o  Change all the sample programs to _not_ #include <GL/gl.h> or
     <GL/glu.h>.  From the spec:  "Because a very large window system
     software vendor (who will remain nameless) has an apparent
     inability to appreciate that OpenGL's API is independent of their
     window system API, portable ANSI C GLUT programs should not
     directly include <GL/gl.h> or <GL/glu.h>.  Instead, ANSI C GLUT
     programs should rely on <GL/glut.h> to include the necessary
     OpenGL and GLU related header files."  Sigh.

  o  New Helvetica fonts: 10, 12, and 18 point versions.
     GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_10, GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12, and
     GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18.

  o  Implement glutFullScreen.

  o  Implement glutSetCursor.

  o  Implement glutGetModifiers.

  o  Implement glutBitmapWidth and glutStrokeWidth.

  o  Reimplement test2 to use glutGet(GLUT_ELAPSED_TIME) instead of
     the less than portable gettimeofday.

  o  Ripped out all the support for compiling earlier GLUT API
     versions.  It got very ugly and hard to maintain.

  o  Added GLUT_LUMINANCE to GLUT verison 3 API and documented it, but
     it is not implemented as part of GLUT 3.0; should be in 3.1.

  o  Added OpenVMS support to GLUT library with much help from Andy Vesper.

  o  The display mode mask parameter for glutInitDisplayMode and the
     milliseconds parameter for glutTimerFunc are now of type unsigned
     int (previously unsigned long).

  o  glutMenuStatus obsoletes glutMenuState.  The callback registered
     by glutMenuStatus is triggered just like glutMenuState, except
     that an additional two parameters pass the X and Y location of the
     mouse when the menu status changes.  This is to remedy problems a
     GLUT program using glutPassiveMotion might have re-sync'ing with
     the mouse position after menu use.

  o  In previous releases of GLUT, various user input events were
     discarded when menus were in use.  Now, these callbacks are
     generated.  If the effect of the events should be performed after
     the menu is released, it is up to the GLUT program to delay the
     action.

  o  Careful to ignore Enter/LeaveNotify events that come
     from the pop-up window pointer grab and ungrab (ie,
     Enter/LeaveNotify events not marked NotifyNormal for their mode.
     Eliminates "spurious" entry events.

  o  Fixed bug with new work (like subwindow creation is a display callback)
     not being placed on the work queue and getting lost.

  o  Fix memory corruption bug in caching of values returned by
     glXChooseVisual; no longer cache.

  o  Fixed bug with glutCopyColormap sometimes not accurately
     re-establishing the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property.

  o  Fixed bug in deliver of enter and left callbacks.  Before "virtual"
     enter and leave (X protocol teminology) were being reported.  The
     semantic for the entry callback is it is entering and leaving
     a GLUT windows real estate that counts; not passing through
     the window hiearchy.

  o  Add XFlush to __glutFinishMenu in case menu call back will want to
     read from a terminal window.  In this case, the X server may still
     be grabbed since the XUngrabPointer hasn't been flushed out of
     Xlib's buffers to the X server for processing (deadlock!).

  o  Don't allow modification of menus while in use.  Spec ammended to
     say "It is illegal to create or destroy menus or change, add, or
     remove menu items while a menu (and any cascaded sub-menus) are in
     use (i.e., popped up)." Allowing modifications of menus while in
     use was dubious, the semantics would be unclear, and even more
     unfortunate, might vary from system to system.

  o  Spec warns that you should not call routines that require a current
     window or menu when there is not a current window or menu (like
     before you create one or if you destroy the current one).

  o  Fixed bug where glutSpecialFunc callback would only operate if
     a glutKeyboardFunc callback was also registered.

  o  Fixed bug in color index visual selection so that largest number
     of bits of color resolution is preferred to smallest.

  o  Fixed bug where if a double buffer X window was used to emulate
     a single buffer window, GLUT should set the OpenGL read mode
     to GL_FRONT (it was only changing the draw mode).

  o  Fixed an obscure ordering bug with simultaneous glutPushWindow and
     glutPopWindow calls on different subwindows of the same window.

  o  Now, it is a fatal error to receive an expose event with no
     display callback registered (it was stupid to allow mapped windows
     that made no attempt to redisplay).  The spec has been changed to
     say NULL can not be passed to glutDisplayFunc; previously, it
     said this would disable the callback.  Stupid.  What was I thinking?

  o  GLUT spec is indexed now and generally improved.

  o  Support for IRIX 6.2's N32 and N64 object style to take advantage
     of new MIPS processor instruction sets.  See lib/glut.n32 and
     lib/glut.n64 (IRIX 6.x only).

  o  Fortran bindings also available for N32 and N64.  See lib/fglut.n32
     and lib/fglut.n64.

  o  Tests support the new API version 3 interfaces.

  o  Contributed "bigtest" test program.

  o  Added splatlogo example demonstrating pixel path functionality.

  o  Added zoomdino program demonstrating use overlay rubber-banding.

  o  Contributed demo programs: hanoi, hanoi2, gears, moth, text3d,
     and noof.

  o  Contributed SGI stereo program: stereo-plane

  o  Being out of colors in the default colormap without overlay planes
     will no longer lead to a fatal error when allocating the color gray
     for a pop-up menu.  Instead, GLUT finds the closest matching color
     automatically.  Help from Brian Paul to code this.

  o  Eliminated Glut64.mk from all Makefile.sgi's

GLUT 2.2 -> 2.3
----------------

  o  Fix obscure problem with how X Input extension button press and
     release events get selected; it seems GLUT should also be
     selecting for the DeviceButtonPressGrab event class since this
     ensures that a release will be delivered to the same window as the
     press; that was my intent for how buttons presses and releases
     should work.  I just didn't know you needed this obscure event
     class to be selected.  Such a grab is the default for pointer
     events.

  o  If windows are indirect, make sure that a glFinish is properly
     done for all windows that have been made current to recently (ie,
     last main loop iteration).  This helps ensure windows don't get
     ahead of themselves.  Previously, GLUT simply did a glFinish to
     whatever window GLUT happened to be made current to last at the
     end of each main loop iteration.

  o  Fix what can be considered a bug where calling glutPostRedisplay
     within a display callback would not leave the redisplay set; this
     applies other routines that set work state needing to be done.
     Essentially, clear the workMask before the work callbacks are done
     instead of after.  The new test15 tests this.

  o  To support other OpenGL higher-level library that might want to
     be able to call glXMakeCurrent, GLUT should not try to track
     make current state and short circuit glXMakeCurrent calls when
     GLUT believes the window/context are already current.  glXMakeCurrent
     should implement the same "short circuit" case, but can appropriately
     track the changed state from multiple libraries.

  o  The glutRemoveMenuItem routine was totally busted previous to 2.3.
     Now it is fixed and test14 is a regression test for it.

  o  Add Greg Humphreys's hanoi program to progs/contrib

  o  Examples demonstrating Open Inventor used with GLUT found in
     progs/inventor

  o  New progs/examples programs:  abgr, triselect, texenv, stenciltst,
     stars, fogtst

GLUT 2.1 -> GLUT 2.2
---------------------

  o  Fixed bug in glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_X) and glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_Y).

  o  Added Philip Winston's human kinetics demo in progs/demos/walker
     (COOL!).

  o  Improved test suite.

  o  Work around SunOS 4.x's non-ANSI compliant realloc.

  o  Better handle delivery of reshape callback.

  o  Pre-build stroke font C files to avoid having to rely on lex/yacc
     working correctly.  Too many Linux systems missing flex/bison or
     having verisons that resulted in undefined symbols while building
     strokegen.

  o  Better portability, mostly avoiding compiler warnings.

  o  64-bit clean (as far as I know!).

  o  Compiles right for systems like DEC Alpha that support GLX 1.1 but
     do not support GLX_SGIS_multisample extension.

  o  At Brian Paul's request for better Mesa support, changed colormap
     allocation to work if RGBA window has PsueoColor visual.

  o  Fix Drew Bliss reported bug in colormap allocation (resulted in
     GLUT programs not correctly sharing colormaps).

  o  Interesting bug involving the fact that XFlush may actually
     read X protocol into Xlib's internal buffers so if you call
     XFlush, then select on the X socket, you might find nothing to
     read, but when in fact there is data in the Xlib internal buffers
     that should be processed.  Using ISDN (I guess it has weird
     network properties) showed this bug in a GLUT test13.  The fix is
     to use XPending after XFlush.

  o  Improve X Input documentation references in the GLUT spec.

  o  Widen margins so spec kills less trees.

  o  Clarify GLUT spec to explain glutGet values returned by
     GLUT_WINDOW_X, GLUT_WINDOW_Y, GLUT_WINDOW_WIDTH, and
     GLUT_WINDOW_HEIGHT as being returned in pixels.

  o  Make sure consistently using reshape (and not resize) within GLUT
     spec.

  o  GLUT spec should document that glutExtensionSupported,
     glutCreateWindow, and glutCreateSubwindow return int.

GLUT 2.0 -> GLUT 2.1
---------------------

  o  XCOMM comments in Imakefiles results in unusable Makefiles
     for systems that pre-date an X11R5-based imake.

  o  The rings.c and worms.c examples use "float" returning
     versions of trigonometric functions (ie, cosf, sinf, etc.).  While
     ANSI C reserves these names for their logical purpose, many
     systems do not implement these functions.

  o  Calls to __glutWarning in glut_cindex in places lack
     variable %d argument.

  o  Intended comments in lib/Imakefile cause avoiable
     warnings for some C pre-processors.

  o  Old (pre-X11R6) versions of Xlib did not have XK_Page_Up
     and XK_Page_Down keysym defs in /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h
     These are aliases to XK_Prior and XK_Next.

  o  The X11R5 to_wfont derived strokegen program for converting
     PEX fonts to C data structures was full of memory access
     bugs.  On most systems, they were not fatal.  That's
     what I get for trying to steal PEX code I gues. :-)

  o  Various Purify-detected memory access bugs within the
     GLUT library have been fixed.

  o  Better Imakefile handling of lex usage in lib/glut/Imakefile

  o  Better document colormap management routines.

  o  Correctly document the prototype for glutCreateSubWindow

  o  Add documentation usage hint explaining glutGetWindow
     and glutGetMenu can be used to determine what window
     or menu a callback is for.

  o  Fix bug in glutDetachMenu

  o  Fix bug in delivery of visibility callback for subwindows
     of an unmapped top-level window.

  o  scube.c should use more likely to be optimized
     glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA) instead of
     glBlendFunc(GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, GL_SRC_ALPHA)

  o  Supression of various compiler detected warnings through
     the GLUT distribution.

  o  Use of the "polygon offset" extension if available in origami.c

  o  SGI mkmkfiles.sgi script doesn't make Fortran by default now;
     see instructions in README.fortran

  o  Improvements to the test programs.

  o  Avoid X Input extension calls when extension is present but
     no devices are available.

GLUT 1.0 -> GLUT 2.0
---------------------

  o  API extensions; see README.glut2

  o  Bug fixes.

  o  More demos.

  o  Update documentation.
