Release Notes

Significant changes relative to 3.1:

  1. The EGL back end now supports OpenGL applications, including ANSYS Fluent, that use multiple X11 Display handles to render to the same GLX drawable.

  2. The VirtualGL Faker now works around an issue whereby applications using the GtkGLArea widget with GTK v3.15.2 through v4.3.1 failed with "No available configurations for the given [RGBA] pixel format" if GTK v3.15.2 through v4.3.1 had previously been initialized on the 2D X server without VirtualGL.

  3. As required by the EGL spec, the interposed eglSwapBuffers() function now flushes the current OpenGL context if the surface being swapped is bound to that context. This fixes a flickering issue that occurred with recent versions of Firefox.

  4. It is no longer necessary to enable the EGL back end in order to use VirtualGL with 3D applications that use the EGL/X11 API. If the GLX back end is enabled, then the EGL/X11 interposer will now use the 3D X server.

  5. Fixed an issue in the VirtualGL Faker that caused random characters and other elements of the Firefox browser window to disappear when the window was resized.

  6. Fixed an issue in VirtualGL's dlopen() interposer (libdlfaker.so) that interfered with the correct operation of ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine.)
