This implementation is being shared with the Khronos community +to provide early insights into the specification of XGL. It is written to +the 0.1 version of the XGL specification, dated 1 Jul 2014. It supports a +subset of the full specification, including: + + First Triangles with hardcoded shaders + +This work is intended to be released as open source under a BSD-style +license once the XGL specification is public. Until that time, this work +is covered by the Khronos NDA governing the details of the XGL API. + +While this project is being developed by LunarG, Inc; there are many other +companies and individuals making this possible: Valve Software, funding +project development; Intel Corporation, providing full hardware specifications +and valuable technical feedback; AMD, providing XGL spec editor contributions; +ARM, contributing a Chairman for this working group within Khronos; Nvidia, +providing an initial co-editor for the spec; Qualcomm for picking up the +co-editor's chair; and Khronos, for providing hosting within GitHub. + +If you have questions or comments about this driver, please post those to +gl_common@khronos.org; or if you prefer, directly to LunarG via XGL@LunarG.com + -- cgit v1.2.3
