[–] niuzeta 12y ago ↗ finally time to get the new red book... grumble [–] GuiA 12y ago ↗ I don't think there is going to be a redbook for 4.4, seeing as the last edition (for 4.3) was published last April... [–] maaku 12y ago ↗ Why miss the chance to milk developers for another $59.99? [–] H3g3m0n 12y ago ↗ That one probably took a lot longer as it was a complete rewrite to deal with the core profile. 4.3->4.4 would only have to add the 4.4 stuff in.4.4 doesn't seem to be a major change. Only adding some buffer stuff, DX10 compatibility and mega-texturing. [–] zero_one 12y ago ↗ They probably wont put out another edition just for 4.4. They didn't for 3.3 and after all the complaints the 7th edition received, I doubt they'll put out another insignificant update. [–] pjmlp 12y ago ↗ That is why nowadays I only buy technical books in digital format, unless they are only available in dead tree format.The technology to save trees is here, so no need to keep killing them for new versions. [–] miga 12y ago ↗ Longing for autoupdated e-books?

[–] comex 12y ago ↗ The discussion on the forum is interesting, especially this post:http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/showthread.php/18229...(However, it's incorrect regarding patents, as stated later.) [–] pjmlp 12y ago ↗ Not really, as I can understand from the whole discussion Mesa will need to join Khronos if they ever want to fully implement OpenGL 4.4. [–] makomk 12y ago ↗ NVidia not playing well with others, trying to make it difficult for other vendors to implement supposedly standardised features. News at 11 ;)

[–] miga 12y ago ↗ Especially welcome are DirectX-porting helpers. Other changes are performance tuning, as far as I have seen.
