Just in time for summer vacation…

LWJGL 2.5

  • OpenGL: Added PixelFormat support for framebuffer CSAA (NV_multisample_coverage, WGL & GLX only).
  • OpenGL: Added support for AMD_name_gen_delete, AMD_debug_output and AMD_transform_feedback3_lines_triangles. The AMDDebugOutputCallback class enables query-less message handling.

  • OpenGL: Added support for a new Drawable type (SharedDrawable) that shares its context with another Drawable.
  • OpenAL: Update to match newer releases (OpenAL-Soft)
  • OpenAL: EFX support
  • OpenAL: Upgrade to latest OpenAL-Soft (1.12+)
  • AppletLoader: Changes to streamline the Applet experience
  • AppletLoader: Initial implementation of a proper caching system.
  • AppletLoader: Added parameter support for al_windows32, al_windows64, al_linux32 and al_linux64
  • AppletLoader: al_bgcolor, al_fgcolor and al_errorcolor have been removed and replaced with boxbgcolor and boxfgcolor
  • Linux: Keyboard focus handling broken when using Display.setParent() applets on Ubunutu
  • Linux: Support for Compiz’s legacy fullscreen workaround
  • Linux: Miscellaneous XrandR fixes
  • General: Added support for disabling runtime function checks, buffer checks and state tracking. Activated with -Dorg.lwjgl.util.NoChecks=true

Although Mac doesn’t cannot use OpenAL-Soft directly, we are aware of being able to use it through a PortAudio backend. This is not provided by LWJGL however.
