+
+  freeglut 2.6.0 released. Changes compared to 2.4.0:
+
+    * Tons of bug fixes
+
+    * Added deprecated, but working Joystick API.
+
+    * Added new constant GLUT_INIT_STATE for glutGet() to check if freeglut is
+      already initialized.
+
+    * Added new API entry for full-screen mode
+
+        void glutFullScreenToggle( void );
+
+      with a related new constant GLUT_FULL_SCREEN for glutGet().
+
+    * Added new API entry to de-initialize freeglut:
+
+        glutExit( void );
+
+    * Added more special keys: GLUT_KEY_NUM_LOCK, GLUT_KEY_BEGIN GLUT_KEY_DELETE
+
+    * Added support for windows without captions and/or borders via two new
+      constants GLUT_CAPTIONLESS and GLUT_BORDERLESS for glutInitDisplayMode
+      (currently works for Windows only).
+
+    * Added support for multisampling: glutSetOption() accepts GLUT_MULTISAMPLE
+      now. The possible number of samples per pixels can be queried via the new
+      API entry
+
+        int *glutGetModeValues( GLenum mode, int *size );
+
+      with mode GLUT_MULTISAMPLE. (glutGetModeValues() currently only works for
+      X11)
+
+    * Added new constant GLUT_AUX for glutSetOption() to set the number of
+      auxiliary buffers. The possible number of auxiliary buffers can be
+      queried via glutGetModeValues with mode GLUT_AUX.
+
+    * Added support for versioned (i.e. 3.0) OpenGL contexts: New API entries
+
+        void glutInitContextVersion( int majorVersion, int minorVersion );
+        void glutInitContextFlags( int flags );
+
+      with related new constants GLUT_DEBUG and GLUT_FORWARD_COMPATIBLE for
+      the latter API entry. Added new constants GLUT_INIT_MAJOR_VERSION,
+      GLUT_INIT_MINOR_VERSION and GLUT_INIT_FLAGS  for glutGet().
