OpenGL Version Note
OpenGL version indicates which graphics acceleration operations the card supports.
- 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 - 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, 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 functionality possible from the OpenGL 4.0 specification

Famous quotes containing the words version and/or note:
“Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments upon it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
