We can use DllImports for OpenGL functions <= v1.1 on all platforms,
including Windows. This allows us to reduce the number of required
GetProcAddress calls by 474, reducing startup time and memory
consumption.
This setting can be turned off through Settings.Legacy.UseDllImports
and UseWindowsCompatibleGL.
These are convenience parameters for function receiving a size and an
array parameter, like DeleteTextures(int n, int[] ids). The generator
will now add overloads taking a single parameter, such as
DeleteTexture(int id).
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).
It is now possible to define multiple overloads of the same function,
each with different parameters. This is extremely useful for
maintaining backwards compatibility in the face of the changes between
GL 4.3 and 4.4.
Utilities.Keywords now accepts an explicit parameter, instead of
accessing Settings directly. This allows us to use multiple
configurations in the same process.
Additionally, the Utilities class is no longer public (the Bind project
is not meant to be consumed as a dll.)
A function redefinition usually stems from a bug in the OpenGL specs, or
a bug in the spec converter. The binding generator now logs a warning,
instead of crashing, when a redefinition is encountered.
Instead of hardcoding a list of extensions, extensions are now read
directly from the signatures.xml file. Acronyms for new texture
formats are now listed.
Improved the output for the doc processor: MathML equations are replaced by their textual representation and whitespace better matches function declarations.
Added new configuration settings for the doc processor and the license.
Removed stale debugging code.
License.txt is now a file, not a resource.
Minor cleanup. Added code to turn ALL_CAPS enums into .Net CamelCase enums - must take care of the extensions before enabling this.
Added a couple new commandline options, and fixed a misspelling (NestedEnumsClass was NestedEunmsClass, ugh!)
