Barthold Lichtenbelt of the OpenGL Working Group wrote an extremely valuable post in the OpenGL forums into the final form of OpenGL 3 and the radical change from the Longs Peak plan. It certainly is worth reading.
The OpenGL 3 specification has finally been released by the Khronos Group, as part of the just-launched Siggraph 2008 conference. It is a major step for OpenGL 3, bringing much needed functionality to bring it up to par with Direct3D 10.
I will be writing a series of entries on some of that new functionality in the future as soon as I have digested the new specification documents, which are available on Khronos’s OpenGL site.
