A new version of GLSL Hacker is available. GLSL Hacker 0.7.0 brings a lot of changes and new features since the last official release. Here is an overview of the main new features:
- added support of GPU buffers: GLSL Hacker 0.7.0 comes with a new lib called gh_gpu_buffer that allows to manage OpenGL hardware buffers like uniform buffers (OpenGL 3.1), shader storage buffers (OpenGL 4.3), atomic counters buffers (OpenGL 4.2), etc.
- added support of user dynamic libraries in C/C++: you can now use GLSL Hacker as a window manager only and code your own 3D routines in a dynamic/shared lib directly in C/C++ or in any language that can create DLLs.
- added drag and drop as well as transparent windows under Mac OS X
- added FreeImage plugin with floating point (96 and 128-bit) support.
- added support of OpenGL 4.0 shader subroutines.
