Nadradený pojem:
OpenGL deprecation
Description
- Over the years, functionality kept being added to OpenGL, to the point where it became rather bloated.
- In 2008, OpenGL 3.0 was released. In this version, older OpenGL methods were deprecated, and only the newest and best (fastest, flexible) ways of rendering were kept.
- In 2009, OpenGL 3.1 was released. In this version, all deprecated functionality was dropped from the OpenGL core.
- However, there is a lot of legacy code in existence. Rather than make all these applications obsolete, OpenGL supports a compatibility context where deprecated functions are still available.
- Modern OpenGL programming does not use these older deprecated functions.
