# OpenTK 0.9.1 Alpha Release notes #
#################################################################################
IMPORTANT: This release is intended for testing and experimentation only. Use at
your own risk!
0.9.1 contains updates to OpenAL (EFX/EAX extensions, AudioContext) and OpenGL
(enums for FBOs and multiple GraphicsContexts). Resolution changes and fullscreen
modes are now supported, and work has begun on a native Mac OS X port. Last, but
not least, several OpenAL and a GLSL example have been added to the Example
launcher - don't forget to check these out!
The full changelog lies below, in case you are interested, as well as the
porting guidelines for your applications (there are several breaking changes,
but all are thankfully simple to fix).
This release marks the third development milestone (fullscreen support). Several
parts are now considered to be in "beta" status, meaning no breaking changes
will occur, unless they are needed to fix a serious bug.
Don't forget to visit our homepage at http://www.opentk.com for the latest
developments, and our #opentk irc channel at de.quakenet.org:6669.
Till next time!
- Stephen A.

# Porting from 0.9.0 #
#################################################################################
Updating to Mono 1.2.6 is strongly recommended
To facilitate future development (e.g. OpenGL 3 support), some namespaces and
class names have been altered. Please, run the following project-wide search and
replace operations:
1. "GLContext" -> "GraphicsContext"
2. "OpenTK.OpenGL" -> "OpenTK.Graphics.OpenGL"
3. "OpenTK.OpenAL" -> "OpenTK.Audio"
4. "GL.ReadPixel" -> "GL.ReadPixels"
The "DisplayMode" class has been marked as obsolete. Its functionality has been
split into two classes: "DisplayResolution" and "GraphicsMode". This is mostly
an internal change and should only affect your GameWindow constructor (a 1-line
change to fix the warning).
The "ColorMode" class has been moved to "OpenTK.Graphics.ColorDepth"; please,
replace references with the latter.
Alc and Alut are no longer public. Please use OpenTK.Audio.AudioContext instead.
