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.
Similar to the change done in Corrade, see the commit for details:

Wow, this is probably the most backwards-compatibility code I've ever
written. Can't wait until I can drop all that.
Deprecated in windowless apps in
6feda42f13 (June 2016) and for windowed
apps in eeba2ac848 (March 2017). Use
constructors taking the NoCreate tag instead.
The Platform::*Application::Configuration class was split into
Configuration and GLConfiguration, the latter containing only
GL-specific configuration. Moreover, createContext() and
tryCreateContext() were renamed to create() / tryCreate().
There's now a constructor and a create() / tryCreate() overload taking
GLConfiguration and this will be later extended with VkConfiguration,
for example. GL-specific getters/setters from Configuration are now
marked as deprecated and merged into GLConfiguration during context
creation.
Everything has still hard dependency on GL, that will be done in the
next commits.
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.
The move away from `nullptr` to NoCreate for constructing an application
without creating OpenGL context was done quite some time ago for
windowless application, but for some weird reason it was never done for
windowed apps. Now made this consistent.
The old `nullptr`-based constructor is still present, but marked as
deprecated and due to be removed in some future release.
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.
Each class should now have *everything* needed in its documentation,
nothing is left out. Most of the text was taken from README in
magnum-bootstrap repository.
The only places where they aren't absolute are:
- when header is included from corresponding source file
- when including headers which are not part of final installation (e.g.
test-specific configuration, headers from Implementation/)
Everything what was in src/ is now in src/Corrade, everything from
src/Plugins is now in src/MagnumPlugins, everything from external/ is in
src/MagnumExternal. Added new CMakeLists.txt file and updated the other
ones for the moves, no other change was made. If MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED
is set, everything compiles and installs like previously except for the
plugins, which are now in MagnumPlugins and not in Magnum/Plugins.
Don't do anything to respond to viewport size by default, as the window
has fixed size in most cases anyway (always fullscreen, canvas of fixed
size in browser etc.). Makes the initial implementation requirements
much simpler and shorter.
Sdl2Application is now taken as base implementation (it was GLUT
previously) and all others are copying/referencing the documentation
from it. When SDL2 is included in all major distributions (Ubuntu, I'm
looking at you), it will replace GLUT as the default application.
Better API for handling more than one application screens (context
switching, event propagation etc.). Taken from Push The Box, updated to
current coding style and templated.
They are now not exposed to the user at all, as their API will be
probably changed and reworked in the future to allow GLX/EGL-specific
extension to be used. Also this looks scary in the documentation.
Each implementation of *Application::Configuration will have different
methods tailored to feature set of the underlying toolkit. Currently
each windowed application's Configuration has only window title (except
NaClApplication) and window size. WindowlessGlxApplication has empty
class. More features will come later. Also created introductionary
documentation for Platform namespace.
If only one *Application or Windowless*Application header is included,
the class is aliased to Application or WindowlessApplication to simplify
porting.
It prevents unwanted implicit conversions from e.g. nullptr to Camera,
Vector2 to Physics::Point etc. By making all the constructors explicit
it is easier to routinely add the keyword to all new classes instead of
thinking about cases when to add and when not to.
We still want to target old Intel machines with OpenGL 2.1. Also moved
important information from constructor documentation to class
documentation. Who would look into constructor documentation for that?
