Waffle 1.5.0 Release Notes
==========================

Backwards compatibility notes
-----------------------------
Waffle 1.5.0 is backwards-compatible with Waffle 1.4.0, in ABI and API.


New Features
------------
* Windows: Experimental support for WGL [Emil Velikov]

  Emil graciously added support for the Windows WGL API this summer,
  represented by the new enum 'WAFFLE_PLATFORM_WGL'. The plan is to convert
  Piglit's Windows build to use this rather than GLUT.

* wflinfo now prints the OpenGL shading language version. [Dylan Baker]

* Linux: Some library dependencies converted from static to dynamic [Emil Velikov]

  libwaffle on Linux no longer statically links to, and instead dynamically
  opens, the libraries below. This change allows a single build of Waffle to be
  deployed onto systems with and without these libraries.

    libEGL
    libGL
    libgbm

* Android: Experimental support for Android Lollipop. (Waffle builds on
  Lollipop but may have critical bugs). [Yongqin Liu]


Bugfixes since 1.4.0
--------------------
* cmake: Fix building with CMake 2.8.11
* glx: Fix requirements for creation of ES2 context
* wflinfo used glGetStringi incorrectly on Mali drivers.
* gbm: Workaround Mesa linkage issue
* gbm: Remove Mesa warning evoked by waffle_window_swap_buffers().
