=== Installation ===
OpenTK does not require installation. Simply decompress the archive to a folder of your choice.
=== Usage ===
Three simple steps:
1. copy "OpenTK.dll" and "OpenTK.dll.config" to your project folder. These can be found under Binaries/OpenTK/Release/
2. add "OpenTK.dll" to your project references.
(Right-click "References" -> "Add Reference" -> "Browse" and locate "OpenTK.dll")
3. set "OpenTK.dll.config" to be copied to your output directory.
(Right-click "OpenTK.dll.config" -> "Properties" and set "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy Always".)
For more details, refer to http://www.opentk.com/doc
=== Build instructions ===
Double-click OpenTK.sln to build using Visual Studio 2010+, SharpDevelop 3.0+, MonoDevelop 2.0+ or Xamarin Studio.
You can also build from the commandline using:
(.Net)
msbuild OpenTK.sln /p:Configuration=Release
(Mono)
xbuild OpenTK.sln /p:Configuration=Release
The resulting binaries will be placed under the Binaries/OpenTK/[Release|Debug] folders.
=== Troubleshooting ===
When building with MonoDevelop you may encounter an issue regarding a missing “GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs” file. This file is normally generated as a pre-build event, via the “Build.UpdateVersion” project. There are two solutions to this issue:
1. Configure MonoDevelop to use xbuild as its build system.
2. Right-click and run “Build.UpdateVersion” manually.
Older versions of xbuild may produce the same error when building from the commandline. In that case, simply execute xbuild twice - the second run should succeed.

News
====
OpenTK 1.1.2 was released on 19 May 2014.
It contains performance and stability improvements and synchronizes the OpenGL and OpenGL ES bindings with the May 2014 Khronos specifications.
=== Changelog: ===
1. New Cocoa backend for Mac OS X, with support for OpenGL 4.x and retina displays. Huge thanks to [Ollhax](https://github.com/Ollhax) for implementing the backend from scratch, including the necessary Cocoa bindings!
2. Custom hardware cursors are now supported: `INativeWindow.Cursor = new MouseCursor(...)`
3. Up to 2000% improvement in binding loading speed. The exact numbers depend on the operating system and hardware configuration. On a Nvidia 650M GPU and a 2.3GHz processor:
- Linux: 6.5ms instead of 45ms
- MacOS: 9.5ms instead of 165ms
- Win64: 5.9ms instead of 108ms
4. Up to 1000% improvement in memory consumption. The object graph has been reduced from 9000 to 900 objects, consuming between 185-220KB of memory depending on the platform and hardware configuration.
5. Support for high-resolution X/Y scrolling on all platforms:
- `OpenTK.Input.MouseState.Scroll.X/Y`
6. Improved mouse input APIs:
- new INativeWindow.MouseMove, MouseUp, MouseDown and MouseWheel events
- new OpenTK.Mouse.GetCursorPos() API to retrieve the state of the system cursor
- all mouse event arguments now carry the current MouseState
7. Improved keyboard input APIs:
- support for non-US layouts on Linux/X11
- all keyboard event arguments now carry the current KeyboardState
- all keyboard event arguments now report the correct KeyModifiers state
8. New OpenGL extensions:
- AMD_gcn_shader
- AMD_gpu_shader_int64
- AMD_transform_feedback4
- EXT_shader_image_load_formatted
- NV_shader_thread_group
- NV_shader_thread_shuffle
9. New OpenGL ES extensions:
- ARM_shader_framebuffer_fetch
- ARM_shader_framebuffer_fetch_depth_stencil
- EXT_shader_pixel_local_storage
- KHR_blend_equation_advanced
- OES_sample_shading
- OES_sample_variables
- OES_shader_image_atomic
- OES_shader_multisample_interpolation
- OES_texture_stencil8
- OES_texture_storage_multisample_2d_array
10. Improved OpenGL ES documentation tooltips.
11. Improved stability when using EGL on Linux and Windows/ANGLE.
12. Improved stability when using SDL2 on 32bit platforms.
13. Improved the shutdown sequence on X11.
14. Fixed a marshaling issue affecting 2d and 3d arrays on Windows/.Net.
OpenTK 1.1.2 is backwards compatible with 1.1.1. Users of previous versions are encouraged to upgrade.
Known issues
============
1. The SDL2 backend has a number of limitations compared to the native platform backends. In particular, SDL2 does not support:
- `OpenTK.GLControl`. OpenTK will automatically use a native platform backend instead.
- `DisplayDevice.ChangeResolution()` without a fullscreen `INativeWindow`.
- changing `INativeWindow.WindowBorder` once a window is created.
- high-resolution mouse input. Additionally, it is limited to a single keyboard and mouse device.
Binaries available at http://www.opentk.com
NuGet packages at http://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTK/
Roadmap
=======
- Merge opentk/opentk (upstream) with mono/opentk (Xamarin)
- Add Portable Class Library (PCL) target
- Add multitouch API
- Add new platforms: NaCL, emscripten, Windows Metro, Ouya, Raspberry PI
- Improve OpenCL bindings
- Improve math library
