Those are now also available under WebGL 1/2 and OpenGL ES 3.O (strangely
not OpenGL ES 2.0) under EXT_texture_compression_{rgtc,bptc}. The GL names
are extra weird-ass now that all other APIs use the BC names.
Deprecated for 2018.04, it's been almost a year since. Whoever is using
Magnum regularly updated already, and who not can always upgrade
gradually (2018.02, 2018.04, 2018.10, 2019.01 etc.).
Was Magnum::GL::Extensions::GL before and the redundancy was completely
unnecessary. Potential future extensions coming from GLX, EGL or whatnot
will most probably be in the Platform namespace in a completely separate
file, so this is not a problem.
All code internal to the GL library is affected, not much the outside,
as that is handled by the compatibility alias.
The MAGNUM_ASSERT_VERSION_SUPPORTED(),
MAGNUM_ASSERT_EXTENSION_SUPPORTED(), MAGNUM_VERIFY_NO_ERROR() macros are
now MAGNUM_ASSERT_GL_VERSION_SUPPORTED(),
MAGNUM_ASSERT_GL_EXTENSION_SUPPORTED() and MAGNUM_VERIFY_NO_GL_ERROR().
Backwards-compatible aliases are in the original headers, as usual.
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.
Minimal updates (just the include guards) so Git is hopefully able to
detect the rename and track the history properly.
Everything except Magnum::GL doesn't compile now.
The `#line` statement was an ugly hack and it breaks code highlighting
in KDevelop (and I guess in many other Clang-based IDEs as well). This
however means adding new extensions is a bit more annoying, but
hopefully the newly added test should aid with that. Developers guide
contains more info.
* Half-floats and floats are usable in ES2 / WebGL 1 (they weren't by
mistake) -- just use OES_texture_float or OES_texture_half_float.
* Half-floats are linearly filterable in ES3 / WebGL 2 and
OES_texture_half_float_linear makes it possible in ES2 / WebGL 1.
* Floats are not linearly filterable, not even in ES3 (they were by
mistake) -- one needs OES_texture_float_linear for that.
* Neither floats nor half-floats are renderable in ES < 3.2 -- one
needs EXT_color_buffer_half_float or EXT_color_buffer_float for that.
The former is available for example on iOS, the latter is apparently
only on NV cards. Both are builtin in ES 3.2, EXT_color_buffer_float
depends in ES3, so half-floats are the only possible format to render
to in ES2.
* Rendering to floats in WebGL is slightly more complicated --
unlike with OpenGL ES 2 it's possible to render to floats in WebGL 1
using WEBGL_color_buffer_float. There's another WebGL 1 extension
called EXT_color_buffer_half_float and they are both replaced with
EXT_color_buffer_float in WebGL 2.
And, as a cherry on top, GPH (formerly SGI) has patents on most of
these, which is probably why the support for them is so spotty.
A bunch of extensions formerly in AEP are now part of ES 3.2, which
means they were reordered in the extension lists. While at it, also
added corresponding new GL and WebGL extensions and fixed a few wrongly
categorized extensions in WebGL.
Proofread everything, make the packages the first choice (and manual
build only as a backup catch-all solution), don't force the users to
CMake but provide useful snippets to show how to use the libs from
CMake.
As with Corrade, this is not exactly backwards compatible, but for
common use case without OBJECT libraries this should not be a problem.
In any case, recreate the build dir and update your copy of all
Find*.cmake modules to avoid weird things happening.
User-facing changes:
* Documentation of all Find*.cmake modules converted to
reStructuredText to follow official CMake guidelines.
* The newfangled way to use the libraries is to link to Magnum::Shaders
instead of adding ${MAGNUM_SHADERS_INCLUDE_DIRS} to include path and
linking to ${MAGNUM_SHADERS_LIBRARIES}.
* The old ${MAGNUM_*_LIBRARIES} are deprecated and now just expand to
Magnum::* target. Use the target directly. These are also enabled
only when building with MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED.
* The old ${MAGNUM_*_INCLUDE_DIRS} are removed as the Magnum::* targets
cover these too.
Internal changes:
* Global state such as include_directories() was replaced with
target-specific settings.
ES 2.0 extensions to match ES3/desktop functionality. The enums from
NV_pack_subimage are not available in gl.xml from Khronos, I would need
to use hardcoded value.
Just added them to the list, nothing integrated or implemented yet. Also
added some more stuff into OpenGL mapping table, as I apparently forgot
some entries.
It is superseded by core functionality. The only annoyance is that you
need to use TextureFormat::SRGB in ES2 and TextureFormat::SRGB8 in ES3,
but that's with many other formats anyway. Also apparently the unsized
format is still allowed in core desktop GL, which is a shame.
For more clarity it's now better to explicitly list all extensions for
each API even though they might get duplicated. For WebGL they also link
to WebGL spec, which might contain a bit more info.
