[Naofumi Yasufuku <naofumi yasufuku net>]

Hello everyone,

gtkglextmm version 0.5.0 has been released.

  http://gtkglext.sourceforge.net/

gtkglextmm is a C++ wrapper for GtkGLExt, OpenGL extension to GTK.
It enables C++ programmers to write OpenGL applications with gtkmm2.


This release includes some important feature enhancements and 
lots of new API functions provided with GtkGLExt 0.5.0.

  * Gdk::GL::Window and Gdk::GL::Pixmap have been changed
    to be derived from Gdk::Drawable. Programmers can now use 
    Gdk::Drawable API against Gdk::GL::Window and Gdk::GL::Pixmap
    objects.

  * Gdk::GL::Drawable interface now provides gl_begin() and
    gl_end() methods. Applications should use them to delimit 
    OpenGL calls.

  * Gtk::GL::Widget, Gdk::GL::Query, and Gdk::GL::Font have
    been changed to struct as the initial implementation was.

  * All examples have been newly rewritten.

  * Documentation have been included in the source package.

and more...


Could you please try it and tell me your comments?
