The Khronos Group has released the OpenGL 4.4 specification, bringing the latest graphics functionality to the most widely adopted cross-platform 2D and 3D graphics API (application programming interface).
According to The Khronos Group, OpenGL 4.4 unlocks the capabilities of today’s leading-edge graphics hardware while maintaining full backwards compatibility, enabling applications to incrementally use new features while portably accessing state-of-the-art graphics processing units (GPUs) across diverse operating systems and platforms. Also, OpenGL 4.4 defines new functionality to streamline the porting of applications and titles from other platforms and APIs.
