Application
===========

GtkGLExt 1.0.0

GtkGLExt is an OpenGL extension to GTK. 
It provides the GDK objects to support OpenGL rendering in GTK,

I'm happy to announce the first stable release 1.0.0 of GtkGLExt.

I would like to thank the various contributors to this project
and everybody who reported bugs.

Special thanks to:

  GNOME community ;-)

  Janne Lof: Original author of GtkGLArea. GtkGLArea gives me a lot 
             of valuable information for developing GtkGLExt.

  Alif Wahid : Author of a lot of useful example programs.

Thanks to all contributors and bug reporters, including:

  Igor Fernandez de Bustos, Scott A. Friedman, Marcelo E. Magallon,
  Jordi Rovira i Bonet, Shane Blackett, jlm, Shiro Kawai,
  Austin Acton, wrobell, Jussi Laako, Thomas Zimmermann,
  Bill Souliotis, Braden McDaniel, Sam Albarano, Jay Painter,
  John Hunter, Mark D'voo, C.J. Collier

Enhancements
============

- Added --gdk-gl-force-indirect GdkGLExt library option.
  Application users can use it to force GdkGLExt library to use 
  indirect rendering context.

- Added --gdk-gl-no-standard-colormap GdkGLExt library option.
  If this option is passed, GdkGLExt library doesn't try to find a
  standard RGB colormap using XmuLookupStandardColormap().

- Added --disable-sgi-fast-atoms configure option to disable SGI's
  fast X atoms optimization feature.

- Added new share-lists.c display list sharing example.

Fixes
=====

- Minor fix in gtkglwidget.c.

- Cleaned up sources.
