OpenGL Version Note
OpenGL version indicates which graphics acceleration operations the card implements.
- OpenGL 1.1 – Texture objects
- OpenGL 1.2 – 3D textures, BGRA and packed pixel formats
- OpenGL 1.3 – Multitexturing, multisampling, texture compression
- OpenGL 1.4 – Depth textures
- OpenGL 1.5 – Vertex Buffer Object (VBO), Occlusion Queries
- OpenGL 2.0 – GLSL 1.1, MRT, Non Power of Two textures, Point Sprites, Two-sided stencil
- OpenGL 2.1 – GLSL 1.2, Pixel Buffer Object (PBO), sRGB Textures
- OpenGL 3.0 – GLSL 1.3, Texture Arrays, Conditional rendering, Frame Buffer Object (FBO)
- OpenGL 3.1 – GLSL 1.4, Instancing, Texture Buffer Object, Uniform Buffer Object, Primitive restart
- OpenGL 3.2 – GLSL 1.5, Geometry Shader, Multi-sampled textures
- OpenGL 3.3 – GLSL 3.30 Backports as much function as possible from the OpenGL 4.0 specification
- OpenGL 4.0 – GLSL 4.00 Tessellation on GPU, shaders with 64-bit precision
- OpenGL 4.1 - GLSL 4.10 Developer-friendly debug outputs, compatibility with OpenGL ES 2.0
- OpenGL 4.2 - GLSL 4.20 Shaders with atomic counters, draw transform feedback instanced, shader packing, performance improvements
- OpenGL 4.3 - GLSL 4.30 Compute shaders leveraging GPU parallelis, shader storage buffer objects, high-quality ETC2/EAC texture compression, increased memory security, a multi-application robustness extension

Famous quotes containing the words version and/or note:
“Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 5:15.
See Exodus 22:8 for a different version of this fourth commandment.
“Glorious bouquets and storms of applause ... are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one’s own life.”
—Dame Alice Markova (b. 1910)
