OpenTK 0.9.9 is the first step in what will lead to our first stable release. This release is strictly for testing and feedback purposes: if you are a new user, you are strongly advised to remain with OpenTK 0.9.8-1, above.
Features:
- Support for the OpenCL flat API in
OpenTK.Compute.CL. - Extensive changes to the GameWindow. You can now control most visible aspects, including the position on the screen.
- Improved support for Windows Vista and Windows 7.
- Support for multisampling on Windows systems.
- Several obsolete APIs have been removed or marked as deprecated.
Major changes are in progress, so please expect bugs and missing features. In particular, Mac OS X support may be broken and the new GameWindow and OpenTK.Input APIs are incomplete.

OpenTK gains support for OpenGL ES 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0
Posted Tuesday, 30 June, 2009 - 08:44 by the FiddlerOpenGL ES is a subset of the OpenGL API used in embedded devices. It is used by Apple's iPhone, Google's Android, Nokia's Maemo, the Sony Playstation 3, the Pandora handheld and other devices.
OpenTK now offers experimental support for OpenGL ES profiles 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0, which roughly translate to OpenGL 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 respectively. This includes inline documentation but excludes strongly-typed enums, which will be added at a later time. There is also no support for constructing contexts through EGL, however it should be possible to use an external GL ES context in conjuction with OpenTK. Finally, the bindings are untested - please file any bugs you encounter.
If you are interested in helping out, testing or porting (esp. to iPhone and Android), make a post!
