Functions returning a value or array via an 'out' parameter will now get a convenience overload that returns the result via a return statement. In the case of arrays, only single-valued arrays will be supported. For example:
void GetIntegerv(enum pname, out int value)
will be get an overload of
int GetIntegerv(enum pname)
This will reduce the amount of helper overloads that must be maintained manually in GLHelpers.cs.
New WrapperTypes for convenience functions: ConvenienceReturnType to
replace an "out" parameter by a return value, and
ConvenienceArrayReturnType to replace an out array parameter by a
single return value (array count of 1 only).
EnableCap.ColorArray is part of the client state and must be enabled
with GL.EnableClientState, not GL.Enalbe. This is a potential fix for

WinGraphicsMode no longer creates a temporary context in order to create
the list of available modes. Instead, it requires to be passed an
existing context in its constructor.
WinGLContext now creates one temporary context in its static constructor
and hands that to WinGraphicsMode.
WinFactory no longer supports the CreateGraphicsMode API. This API will
be removed in the future, because the link because contexts and modes
cannot be separated in the general case.
The static initializer of GetCurrentContext would always default to the
desktop PlatformFactory, which caused problems when trying to run OpenGL
ES code on the desktop. The initializer is now removed and
GetCurrentContext is set in the context constructor, before creating any
contexts.
We should only generate delegates for actual OpenGL entry points, not
for overloaded functions that resolve to the same entry point. This
improves loading speeds and reduces the size of the compiled dll.
GraphicsMode.Default used to be set to
(DisplayDevice.Default.BitsPerPixel, 16, 0, 0, 0, 2, false) for improved
compatibility with older systems. However, this appears to be causing
issues with specific modern GPUs. Switch the default mode to (32, 24, 8)
until a more proper solution can be found.
Paths that don't define a "version" attribute will now match all
possible versions. This will make it easier to add support for newer
APIs as they are introduced.
After the previous commit, several ES 2.0 functions would refer to
enums found in ES 3.0. These enums have been copied to ES 2.0, either
as core enums or as extensions.
ES 3.0 includes ES 2.0 verbatim. We can significantly reduce
duplication by using the same <replace> node for both APIs. Note that
the enumerations must remain separate, as ES 2.0 and 3.0 support
different tokens.
ContextAttribute.DOUBLEBUFFER is a boolean in SDL (false->single
buffering, true->double buffering). We need to adjust the number of
buffers accordingly (single buffering->1 buffer, double buffering->2
buffers).
The issue is that some display devices report a BitsPerPel value of 0.
It is not clear whether this is a bug in WinDisplayDevice.cs or some
strange windows issue. The implemented workaround adds an entry to the
debug log and hardcodes BitsPerPel to 32 whenever this condition is
encountered. More investigation required.
The <overload> element simplifies the addition of overloads for
backwards compatibility. It is defined similar to the <replace>
element, but instead of replacing the parameters of a function
in-place, it adds a new overload and modifies the overload instead.
Sometimes an enum may reuse the tokens of another enum verbatim
(possibly adding a few extra tokens.) The reuse directive simplifies
the handling of this case:
<enum name="Foo">
<reuse enum="Bar" />
</enum>
Added strongly-typed enums for sections: Vertices, Shaders and
Programs. Added a number of missing enums for ES 2.0. Normalized
several APIs between OpenGL and OpenGL ES.
When a Delegate is defined multiple times in the spec, we should check
if any of these definitions contains a proper Delegate.Version and
store that. This improves the self-documentation aspect of the bindings.
