If you want to discuss the merits of gl3/4, maybe we should start a different thread for that. I find that there is very little to gain in using a core context vs 2.1 + extensions.

Sounds good to me. Start away, I'll read and respond. So far my experience with Irrlicht is it builds cleanly on Linux, which is a good sign.

Really sorry for offtopic but now i'm writing OpenGL3.x driver which will support native deferred rendering and PSSM (shadows). Why driver? Because it will be faster. Code standards ? Yeah , I keep the code standards, so if someone from irrlicht team will have a wish to add it to irrlicht - no problem. Again sorry for offtopic I'll create another topic when i'll have something to show.

Please note that we already have two branches which deal with similar topics, ogl-es and flexible vertex format. Just FYI

I have a partially working OGL 3.x driver on my local machine (anyway I didn't submit it on SVN yet, because this port needs clean-up - it base on OGL-ES2 driver). If you want, please put a patch to your driver on the tracker and I'll check it.

@wiedzmin112: Just post questions about the ogl-es branches in the corresponding threads. Or if it's about really new ideas you can also create a new thread. It's nearly always better to do that in the public forum instead of messaging developers directly. More people see it and can give feedback and learn from it and avoid asking same questions again and also you don't pressure team-developers that way to give your questions high-priority (so it's just nicer). Sometimes you can catch us also in IRC (although not that regularly).

glext.h is automatically compiled in. Simply replace the header file if it does not contain your required version.

Sure, 1.9 and 1.8.1 are in development. You can always check-out current versions in svn.

The changes.txt file in the root-folder is updated once in a while with the stuff that changed. I guess the main-feature planned was to merge the GL ES branch with the main branch. But I'm not yet involved there, so not sure currently if it will happen for 1.9 or not.
