In short this means the users no longer need to care about FindSDL2 etc.,
it'll just get done automatically. They don't need to drag along
FindMagnum / FindCorrade anymore either, but having them gives a much
more reasonable error message if the library cannot be located at all, so
I still recommend having them.
Originally (2012? 2013?) I expected that there would eventually be
OpenGL ES 4.0, thus it made sense to differentiate between ES2, ES3 and
something else ES yet unknown. But as ES4 was increasingly unlikely to
happen, the internal code treated MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES3 as a simple
inverse of MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES2, and only in a very few places,
only adding confusion.
Thus it's now deprecated and defined as a simple inverse of
MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES2 on MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES builds, and none of the
internal code uses it anymore.
The glTF importer plugin contains functionality that's present only in
deprecated builds (backwards compatibility for skinning mesh
attributes), which isn't causing any API signature difference but rather
a difference in behavior. So expand the docs to say it's not limited to
just APIs but features in general.
Currently contains just one very silly Phong->PBR conversion utility,
but eventually it'll provide tools for simplifying, merging and
deduplicating materials.
These two options were mutually exclusive, and both were doing the same
thing -- switching to EGL on desktop GL, or switching away from EGL on
GLES. That made all logic vastly more complicated than it should be, and
unfortunately it took me half a decade to realize that. The new logic is
significantly simpler everywhere.
As usual, the old options are still recognized by CMake on a deprecated
build (with a warning), and are still exposed both as CMake variables
and a preprocessor define. But the logic for them was quite complicated,
so I don't guarantee all cases are covered.
I also tried to clean up the dependent CMake options to allow building
GLX and WGL apps on GLES independently of whether EGL is used, but it's
quite a mess due to the limitations of CMake < 3.22. Build directories
that have the options switched randomly over a long time might start
misbehaving, but the initial build should work well.
The whole class was a bad idea, why create something that's 99% similar
to another application and has just one platform-specific workaround? Of
course it resulted in this code being completely untested and not even
built anywhere, because it served a tiny insignificant use case.
To avoid losing all the code, I did my best in attempting to merge this
into the WindowlessEglApplication. But since, again, EGL isn't
really used on any Windows platform, I can't even say it builds
properly. Maybe not even the original code built.
Similar to the change done in Corrade, see the commit for details:
878624ac36
Wow, this is probably the most backwards-compatibility code I've ever
written. Can't wait until I can drop all that.
Same as in Corrade. Because BUILD_STATIC is independent between Corrade
and Magnum this option is also independent -- the corner cases and bad
interactions would be otherwise too complex to handle (e.g., in case of
a dynamic Corrade and static Magnum it would be impossible to enable
this option for Magnum etc etc).
This makes it possible to:
- finally use Magnum as a CMake subproject on Windows and have your
executables not fail to run with a "DLL missing" error (and the
setting is put to cache so superprojects just implicitly make use of
that)
- run tests on Windows without having to install first
- use dynamic plugins from a CMake subproject on any platform without
having to install first or load them by filename --- and the plugin
directory is now easily discovered as relative to
libraryLocation() of the library implementing given plugin interface
If building with deprecated features enabled, the buildsystem checks if
the option is still set and is inconsistent with what Corrade reports
and reports a deprecation warning. For backwards compatibility the
MAGNUM_BUILD_MULTITHREADED CMake variable and preprocessor macro are
still provided as well.
Will get extended later with things needed for building Magnum itself
with a custom buildsystem. Some users need that as well.

At the moment just the GL library itself w/o the tests, and without
backwards compatibility aliases. The following types were left in the
root namespace, despite being in the GL/ directory, as they will get
moved back soon:
* Image, CompressedImage and their dimensional typedefs
* ImageView, CompressedImageView and their dimensional typedefs
* PixelStorage
Not PixelFormat etc., that one will stay in the GL namespace and a
completely new PixelFormat enum will be provided in the root namespace.
This will later enable conditional compilation of APIs that depend on
the GL library (for example the Text library directly producing compiled
meshes instead of just plain vertex data).
