How 'beta' is v2.0 for OpenGL?

in Core Library Questions • 7 months ago

Hi all,

I have an existing project that I want to resurrect. I currently have it working in 1.5.1, but I need to do some significant additional development.

I'm tempted to move to v2.0 given the new OpenGL features and the fact that this will be the only way forward in the future.

So, how risky would an immediate move to 2.0 be? The project makes extensive use of OpenGL rendering for playing movie files and better rendering of fonts etc.

Any comments gratefully received.
Cheers,

Chris

Having spent the last month or so working with Processing 2b8, I can give my own reply to the question: *very*!

Essentially, don't depend on the OpenGL features in Processing 2.0. Although, the OpenGL bindings work it makes no additional use of the GPU and so the improvements are purely cosmetic with little improvements in performance.
