GLU Deprecated

Posted Friday, 23 October, 2009 - 14:16 by NSDev in

I just updated to the latest (0.9.9-3) from (0.9.8) and I noticed that now GLU is deprecated. Just wondering why and whether or not there is a convenient replacement for that functionality (the release notes just say to "Please use OpenTK instead."). Also, I have the same question with regards to TextPrinter...?

GLU can be replaced almost completely using the math toolkit (Matrix4, etc). If you are using some specific part that is not covered by OpenTK, please post a feature request! Note that the GLU is officially deprecated - many parts will not work with OpenGL 3.x at all.

The TextPrinter will become available as a separate (non-deprecated) project in the near future. While I won't be able to maintain the TextPrinter on my own, I hope that someone will be willing to adopt it and develop it further.
