Development Status
The first public release of Visualization Library was on May 7, 2007. Visualization Library is currently at its second stable release, VL 2011.05.1140, which follows the first one, VL 2009.07.640. While the design remained essentially the same the latest stable release differs from its predecessor mainly for: supporting OpenGL 3 and 4 and in particular tessellation shaders, double precision uniform variables, new texture formats such as multisample textures and texture objects, extensive framebuffer object support and a better tuning for applications that make heavy use of GLSL, among many other enhancements.

Famous quotes containing the words development and/or status:
“As a final instance of the force of limitations in the development of concentration, I must mention that beautiful creature, Helen Keller, whom I have known for these many years. I am filled with wonder of her knowledge, acquired because shut out from all distraction. If I could have been deaf, dumb, and blind I also might have arrived at something.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
