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

- Update to 3.1:
1. Fixed an issue in the EGL back end whereby textures and other OpenGL objects
were not automatically destroyed along with the context and drawable in which
the objects were created.
2. Added an environment variable (`VGL_EXITFUNCTION`) that, when set to
`_exit` or `abort`, causes the VirtualGL Faker to call the specified function
rather than `exit()` when a non-recoverable error occurs.
3. Fixed an issue whereby the interposed `eglCreatePlatformWindowSurface()`
and `eglCreatePlatformWindowSurfaceEXT()` functions incorrectly treated the
native window argument as an X window handle rather than a pointer to an X
window handle. This caused a segfault in VLC when using the OpenGL video
output module.
4. `vglserver_config` now works properly with SUSE Linux Enterprise/openSUSE
Leap 15.
5. If the GLX back end is in use, then the interposed `eglGetDisplay()` and
`eglGetPlatformDisplay()` functions now return `EGL_NO_DISPLAY` rather than
throwing a fatal error. This allows applications such as Firefox to fail
gracefully or to fall back and use the GLX API if EGL/X11 is unavailable.
6. Fixed an issue whereby the VirtualGL Configuration dialog did not pop up if
the X keyboard extension was enabled on the 2D X server.
7. The VirtualGL Faker no longer probes the 2D X server for stereo visuals
unless the VGL Transport or a transport plugin will be used. Even if the 2D X
server has stereo visuals, they will never be used with the X11 and XV
Transports. Probing the 2D X server for stereo visuals causes problems with
certain OpenGL implementations and with applications, such as Tecplot 360, that
include static builds of Mesa. An undocumented environment variable
(`VGL_PROBEGLX`) can be used to override the default behavior.
8. When using the EGL back end, interposed `XQueryExtension(..., "GLX", ...)`
and `glXQueryExtension()` function calls now return `False`, rather than
throwing a fatal error, if the 2D X server does not have a GLX extension. (The
EGL back end uses the 2D X server's GLX extension for GLX error handling.)
This allows applications, such as Chrome/Chromium, to fail gracefully or use a
different API (such as EGL/X11) if the VirtualGL Faker is unable to emulate
GLX.
9. The VirtualGL Client now runs on Macs with Apple silicon CPUs (without
requiring Rosetta 2.)
- update to 3.0.90 (3.1 beta1)
1. The `vglconnect -x` and `vglconnect -k` options have been retired in this
version of VirtualGL and will continue to be maintained in the 3.0.x branch on
a break/fix basis only. Those options, which had been undocumented since
VirtualGL 2.6.1, were a throwback to the early days of VirtualGL when SSH was
not universally available and SSH X11 forwarding sometimes introduced a
performance penalty. `vglconnect -x` did not work with most modern operating
systems, since most modern operating systems disable X11 TCP connections by
default.
2. SSL encryption of the VGL Transport has been retired in this version of
VirtualGL and will continue to be maintained in the 3.0.x branch on a break/fix
basis only. That feature, which had not been included in official VirtualGL
packages since VirtualGL 2.1.x, was not widely used. Furthermore, SSL
encryption of the VGL Transport had no performance advantages over SSH
tunneling on modern systems, and it had some security disadvantages due to its
reliance on the RSA key exchange algorithm (which made it incompatible with TLS
v1.3.)
3. When using the EGL back end, VirtualGL now supports 3D applications
(including recent versions of Google Chrome/Chromium and Mozilla Firefox) that
use the EGL/X11 API instead of the GLX API. As of this writing, VirtualGL does
not support EGL pixmap surfaces or front buffer/single buffer rendering with
EGL window surfaces.
4. On Un*x and Mac clients, `vglconnect` now uses the OpenSSH `ControlMaster`
option to avoid the need to authenticate with the server multiple times when
tunneling the VGL Transport through SSH.
5. `vglconnect` now accepts a new command-line argument (`-v`) that, when
combined with `-s`, causes VirtualGL to be preloaded into all processes
launched in the remote shell, thus eliminating the need to invoke `vglrun`.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- update to 3.0.2:
1. Support for transparent overlay visuals has been retired in this version of
VirtualGL. That feature will continue to be maintained in the 2.6.x branch on
a break/fix basis only. Most applications that once used transparent overlay
visuals used them with color index rendering, which was removed in OpenGL 3.1
in 2009. Thus, almost all applications that render overlays now do so using
other mechanisms. Furthermore, the need for VirtualGL to hand off the
rendering of transparent overlay visuals to the 2D X server has always limited
the usefulness of the feature, and the discontinuation of the VirtualGL Client
for Exceed relegated the feature to Un*x clients (with workstation-class GPUs)
and the VGL Transport only. Given that nVidia's implementation of transparent
overlay visuals requires disabling the X Composite extension, which cannot be
done in many modern Linux distributions, that further limited the feature to
the point of uselessness.
2. The VirtualGL Faker now assigns various permutations of common OpenGL
rendering attributes to the available 2D X server visuals. This maximizes the
chances that "visual hunting" 3D applications (applications that use X11
functions to obtain a list of 2D X server visuals, then iterate through the
list with `glXGetConfig()` until they find a visual with a desired set of
OpenGL rendering attributes) will find a suitable visual.
`VGL_DEFAULTFBCONFIG` can still be used to assign a specified set of OpenGL
rendering attributes to all 2D X server visuals, although the usefulness of
that feature is now very limited.
3. The VirtualGL Faker now includes an EGL back end that optionally emulates
the GLX API using a combination of the EGL API (with the
`EGL_EXT_platform_device` extension) and OpenGL renderbuffer objects (RBOs.)
On supported platforms, the EGL back end allows the VirtualGL Faker to be used
without a 3D X server. The EGL back end can be activated by setting the
`VGL_DISPLAY` environment variable to the path of a DRI device, such as
**/dev/dri/card0**, or by passing that device path to `vglrun` using the `-d`
argument. Some obsolete OpenGL and GLX features are not supported by the EGL

- update to 3.0.2
* Now supports use of EGL as well as GLX
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Dec 19 11:08:04 UTC 2020 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 2.6.5:
1. Fixed a race condition that sometimes caused various fatal errors in the
interposed `glXMakeContextCurrent()` function if both GLX drawable IDs passed
to that function were the same window handle and the corresponding X window was
simultaneously resized in another thread.
2. Fixed an oversight whereby the addresses of the interposed
`glDrawBuffers()`, `glGetString()`, and `glGetStringi()` functions introduced
in 2.6.3[2] and 2.6.4[1] were not returned from the interposed
`glXGetProcAddress()` and `glXGetProcAddressARB()` functions.
3. VirtualGL now works properly with 3D applications that use the
`glNamedFramebufferDrawBuffer()` and `glNamedFramebufferDrawBuffers()`
functions (OpenGL 4.5) or the `glFramebufferDrawBufferEXT()` and
`glFramebufferDrawBuffersEXT()` functions (`GL_EXT_direct_state_access`) and
render to the front buffer.
4. Fixed a BadRequest X11 error that occurred when attempting to use the X11
Transport with a remote X connection.
5. Worked around an issue with certain GLX implementations that list
10-bit-per-component FB configs ahead of 8-bit-per-component FB configs and
incorrectly set `GLX_DRAWABLE_TYPE|=GLX_PIXMAP_BIT` for those 10-bpc FB
configs, even though they have no X visuals attached. This caused VirtualGL's
interposed `glXChooseVisual()` function to choose one of the 10-bpc FB configs
behind the scenes, which made it impossible to use the VGL Transport.
6. Fixed an issue whereby, when using the X11 Transport, a vertically flipped
image of a previously-rendered frame was sometimes displayed if the 3D
application called `glFlush()` while the front buffer was the active drawing
buffer and the render mode was `GL_FEEDBACK` or `GL_SELECT`.
7. `vglserver_config` now works properly if invoked with a relative path
(for example, `cd /opt/VirtualGL/bin; sudo ./vglserver_config`.)
8. Worked around a limitation in the AMDGPU drivers that prevented recent
versions of Google Chrome from enabling GPU acceleration when used with
VirtualGL.
