The code blindly expected UTF8_STRING for files. It did not downgrade based on source protocol version. It did not handle hostnames in text/uri-list data. It did not specify the source time stamp when converting the selection. It did not search the XdndTypeList when necessary. It did not ignore sources that specified invalid versions. While better, this is still not fully conformant. Hostnames are not validated and it does not guard against source crashes. Fixes #968.

## Introduction
|
|
|
|
GLFW is an Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan
|
|
application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API for
|
|
creating windows, contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events, etc.
|
|
|
|
GLFW natively supports Windows, macOS and Linux and other Unix-like systems.
|
|
Experimental implementations for the Wayland protocol and the Mir display server
|
|
are available but not yet officially supported.
|
|
|
|
GLFW is licensed under the [zlib/libpng
|
|
license](http://www.glfw.org/license.html).
|
|
|
|
The latest stable release is version 3.2.1.
|
|
|
|
See the [downloads](http://www.glfw.org/download.html) page for details and
|
|
files, or fetch the `latest` branch, which always points to the latest stable
|
|
release. Each release starting with 3.0 also has a corresponding [annotated
|
|
tag](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases) with source and binary archives.
|
|
The [version history](http://www.glfw.org/changelog.html) lists all user-visible
|
|
changes for every release.
|
|
|
|
This is a development branch for version 3.3, which is _not yet described_.
|
|
Pre-release documentation is available [here](http://www.glfw.org/docs/3.3/).
|
|
|
|
The `master` branch is the stable integration branch and _should_ always compile
|
|
and run on all supported platforms, although details of newly added features may
|
|
change until they have been included in a release. New features and many bug
|
|
fixes live in [other branches](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/branches/all) until
|
|
they are stable enough to merge.
|
|
|
|
If you are new to GLFW, you may find the
|
|
[tutorial](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/quick.html) for GLFW
|
|
3 useful. If you have used GLFW 2 in the past, there is a
|
|
[transition guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/moving.html) for moving to
|
|
the GLFW 3 API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Compiling GLFW
|
|
|
|
GLFW itself requires only the headers and libraries for your window system. It
|
|
does not need the headers for any context creation API (WGL, GLX, EGL, NSGL) or
|
|
rendering API (OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan) to enable support for them.
|
|
|
|
GLFW supports compilation on Windows with Visual C++ 2010 and later, MinGW and
|
|
MinGW-w64, on macOS with Clang and on Linux and other Unix-like systems with GCC
|
|
and Clang. It will likely compile in other environments as well, but this is
|
|
not regularly tested.
|
|
|
|
There are also [pre-compiled Windows
|
|
binaries](http://www.glfw.org/download.html) available for all compilers
|
|
supported on that platform.
|
|
|
|
See the [compilation guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html) for
|
|
more information about how to compile GLFW.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using GLFW
|
|
|
|
See the [documentation](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/) for tutorials, guides
|
|
and the API reference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Contributing to GLFW
|
|
|
|
See the [contribution
|
|
guide](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) for
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## System requirements
|
|
|
|
GLFW supports Windows XP and later and macOS 10.7 and later. Linux and other
|
|
Unix-like systems running the X Window System are supported even without
|
|
a desktop environment or modern extensions, although some features require
|
|
a running window or clipboard manager. The OSMesa backend requires Mesa 6.3.
|
|
|
|
See the [compatibility guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compat.html)
|
|
in the documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
GLFW itself depends only on the headers and libraries for your window system.
|
|
|
|
The examples and test programs depend on a number of tiny libraries. These are
|
|
located in the `deps/` directory.
|
|
|
|
- [getopt\_port](https://github.com/kimgr/getopt_port/) for examples
|
|
with command-line options
|
|
- [TinyCThread](https://github.com/tinycthread/tinycthread) for threaded
|
|
examples
|
|
- An OpenGL 3.2 core loader generated by
|
|
[glad](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad) for examples using modern OpenGL
|
|
- [linmath.h](https://github.com/datenwolf/linmath.h) for linear algebra in
|
|
examples
|
|
- [Nuklear](https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear) for test and example UI
|
|
- [stb\_image\_write](https://github.com/nothings/stb) for writing images to disk
|
|
- [Vulkan headers](https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/) for Vulkan tests
|
|
|
|
The Vulkan example additionally requires the Vulkan SDK to be installed, or it
|
|
will not be included in the build. On macOS you need to set the path to the
|
|
MoltenVK SDK manually as it has no standard location.
|
|
|
|
The documentation is generated with [Doxygen](http://doxygen.org/). If CMake
|
|
does not find Doxygen, the documentation will not be generated when you build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Reporting bugs
|
|
|
|
Bugs are reported to our [issue tracker](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues).
|
|
Please check the [contribution
|
|
guide](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) for
|
|
information on what to include when reporting a bug.
