Most OpenGL versions work with single-byte ASCII strings exclusively.
OpenGL 4.2 adds UTF8 encoded comments to GLSL shaders. Unfortunately,
UTF16 (.Net) to UTF8 conversions will usually modify the length of the
resulting byte array.
This is not currently possible to implement inside OpenTK, since the
binding generator does not know which length parameter corresponds to a
string parameter.
For this reason, and to maintain compatibility with older OpenGL
versions, we perform a destructive UTF16-to-ASCII encoding, which
replaces unsupported characters by '?'. This allows multi-byte post-4.2.
GLSL shaders to work as expected.
If non-destructive round-tripping of strings is required, the user will
have to use the IntPtr overload for string parameters and perform the
UTF16-to-UTF8 encoding/decoding manually. This need is very unlikely to
arise in practice.
OpenTK will now detect when an UpdateFrame handler is consistently
taking too long to finish, and stop raising UpdateFrame events. This
gives ProcessEvents() a chance to execute and will protect the
application from hanging up.
GameWindowStates will now display the average fps and draw three moving
boxes based on different timing methods.
If the timing implementation in OpenTK is working correctly, all three
boxes should be moving at the same speed.
The UpdateFrame event rate will now match TargetUpdatePeriod even if
vsync is enabled. Previously, it would be quantized to a multiple or
integer fraction of of the vsync rate.
Alc.GetString() could crash if the unmanaged code returned null due to
any kind of failure. This is now fixed and better documented.
Additionally, the array overload for Alc.GetString() will now correctly
forward the ‘device’ parameter to unmanaged code.
Multiple UpdateFrame events should be raised to match the desired
TargetUpdateFrequency, when TargetUpdateFrequency > 0. The loop would
incorrectly check for TargetRenderFrequency instead.
Affects issue #43
This patch adds more robust checks for WGL_ARB_pixel_format and
WGL_ARB_multisample before using the relevant extensions, and adds
checks whether Wgl.Arb.ChoosePixelFormat() returns a valid pixel format
before trying to use it (thanks to Repetier for catching this edge
case.)
Additionally, the ChoosePixelFormatPFD code-path now heavily penalizes
single-buffered modes when the user requests a double-buffered mode.
Affects issues #42 and #45
SDL will fail to construct an OpenGL 3.x/4.x context on Mac OS X,
unless ContextProfileFlags.CORE is specified.
Fixes issue #44
Upstream enhancement request at

When running over remote desktop without hardware acceleration, there
are no GraphicsModes that support desktop composition. This patch adds
logic to avoid requesting composition-capable modes when running over
RDP.
Additionally, it changes the mode selection logic to consider modes that
support features partially (e.g. 16bpp color instead of 32bpp), albeit
with a heavy penalty over fully supported modes.
This patch adds a workaround for WM_STYLECHANGED messages that are not
delivered when running on Mono/Windows. If we detect Mono, then we call
HandleStyleChanged() directly in order to update the internal state of
our WinGLNative instance.
OpenTK now directly calculates the elapsed time between UpdateFrame
(RenderFrame) events and compares that directly to TargetUpdatePeriod
(TargetRenderPeriod). This significantly simplifies the implementation
and improves timing stability.
PlatformFactoryBase provides a common base interface for platform
backends. Platform backends should inherit from PlatformFactoryBase in
order to reduce code duplication.
LegacyJoystickDriver implements the legacy IJoystickDriver interface
(GameWindow.Joysticks) in terms of the new IJoystickDriver2 interface
(OpenTK.Input.Joystick).
This removes a large chunk of code from each platform backend, as they
no longer need to implement IJoystickDriver themselves. Additionally,
it adds support for device hot plugging which was previously missing.
This patch modifies GameWindow.Run() to use a single stopwatch instead
of two separate stopwatches for timing UpdateFrame and RenderFrame
events.
It improves timing accuracy for issue #20 (FrameEventArgs.Time
Inconsistencies)
DeviceAdded already checks that devices conform to the desired usage
pages. Checking again in DeviceRemoved is unnecessary - if a device
exists, then it has already passed muster.
JoystickAxis/Button.Last is used internally to allocate the correct
amount of storage for joystick axes and buttons. JoystickAxis.Axis10 is
required to support the maximum number of axes available on Mac OS X.
