OpenGL 223.1 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation 23because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported. 24</p> 25 26 27<h2>MD5 checksums</h2> 28<pre> 29tbd 30</pre> 31 32 33<h2>New features</h2> 34 35<p> 36Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers. 37</p> 38 39<ul> 40<li>Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver</li> 41<li>Added new Gallium3D - radeonsi driver</li> 42<li>Added OpenCL state tracker Clover</li> 43<li>Completed VDPAU state tracker (video decoding support is currently limited to MPEG1 and MPEG2)</li> 44<li>GL_ARB_base_instance</li> 45<li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended</li> 46<li>GL_ARB_debug_output</li> 47<li>GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation.
