BRIEF OVERVIEW
==============
- This is an alpha release of the freeglut package. Currently only
- the alpha version of freeglut-1.3 library is available.
-
+ This is the freeglut package.
+
Freeglut, the Free openGL Utility Toolkit, is meant to be a free alter-
native to Mark Kilgard's GLUT library. It is distributed under an X-Consor-
tium style license (see COPYING for details), to offer you a chance to use
and/or modify the source.
-
- It makes use of OpenGL, GLU, GLib and pthreads-win32 libraries. GLib is
- LGPL'ed and I hope I do not violate it's license by using it. In case this
- is true, please notify me so that I remove GLib usage from the project.
-
- The library does not make use of any GLUT code and is not 100% compatible.
- Code recompilation and/or slight modifications might be required for your
- applications to work with freeglut.

PORTS
=====
Both X11 and Win32 ports are in an advanced alpha stage, which means that
- they provide limited functionality of GLUT API 3. There is an investigation
- en course to check if the BeOS port could be easily done using the current
- freeglut structure.

+ limited port (mostly due to limits of the OS) to Andriod is now also
+ available.

CONTRIBUTING
============

Bug and missing features patches are certainly welcome. Just as comments
- and FREEGLUT API 1 propositions are.
+ and FREEGLUT API propositions are.
Just please to make the fixes look visually just as the rest of the code
does (tabs converted 4 white spaces). Comments are really welcome, as I
believe it would be nice for people fresh new to OpenGL see how the things
are done...
