This is a new stable release.

Major changes for 1.4 are:

  • Epoxy can now build with MSVC versions prior to 2013; we still recommend using a recent, C99-compatible compiler, like MSVC 2015 [Chun-wei Fan]
  • When used under X11, Epoxy now attempts to handle the cases where the GLX extension is not built or not available [Yaron Cohen-Tal]
  • GLX can now be enabled and disabled at configuration time; this allows building Epoxy with GLX on macOS, and allows building Epoxy without GLX on embedded platforms
  • Epoxy now exposes API that lets dependent projects safely check if platform API like GLX and EGL is available at run time
  • EGL support has been improved on Windows, and made more resilient on other platforms [Yaron Cohen-Tal, Adam Jackson]
  • Epoxy supports building with the Meson build system, which has Ninja, Visual Studio, and XCode backends
  • Epoxy can generate its API reference using Doxygen (currently only available on Meson builds)
  • The GL registry has been updated with the latest version of the API references provided by Khronos; Epoxy now supports the API introduced by OpenGL 4.5
