# GLFW
## Introduction
GLFW is a free, Open Source, portable library for OpenGL and OpenGL ES
application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API for
creating windows and contexts, reading input, handling events, etc.
Version 3.0.4 is *not yet described*. As this is a patch release, there are no
API changes.
If you are new to GLFW, you may find the
[introductory 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
See the [Compiling GLFW](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html) guide in
the GLFW documentation.
## Using GLFW
See the
[Building programs that use GLFW](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build.html)
guide in the GLFW documentation.
## Changelog
- Added the `GLFW_BUILD_DOCS` CMake option for controlling whether the
documentation is built
- Added the `_GLFW_USE_CONFIG_H` configuration macro for controlling whether to
include the configuration header
- Moved version number macro to `internal.h` for easier manual compilation
- Renamed configuration header to `glfw_config.h` to avoid conflicts
- Bugfix: The `glfw3.pc` file did not respect the `LIB_SUFFIX` CMake option
- Bugfix: The `joysticks` test would segfault if a controller had no axes
- [Win32] Allowed swap interval to be explicitly set to zero on DWM systems
- [Win32] Bugfix: Removed joystick axis value negation left over from GLFW 2
- [Win32] Bugfix: Restoring windows using the Win+D hot key did not trigger the
focus callback
- [Win32] Bugfix: The disabled cursor mode clip rectangle was updated for
unfocused windows
- [Win32] Bugfix: Cursor was not properly re-centered over odd-sized windows
- [Win32] Bugfix: Negative window positions were reported incorrectly
- [Win32] Bugfix: The iconify callback was not triggered when switching away
from a full screen window using Alt+Tab
- [Cocoa] Added dependency on CoreVideo framework for refresh rate retrieval
- [Cocoa] Enabled Lion full screen for resizable windowed mode windows
- [Cocoa] Moved to Cocoa API for application transformation and activation
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: The `GLFW_KEY_GRAVE_ACCENT` key was reported as
`GLFW_KEY_WORLD_1` and vice versa
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: The `GLFW_KEY_F13` key was reported as

having been set to hidden outside it
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: The refresh rate was zero for all modes of certain monitors
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: The `install_name` field of the dynamic library was not set
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: Full screen windows were never reported as having focus
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: A superfluous I/O flag test prevented video modes from being
listed for Thunderbolt monitor
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: Retrieving the name of some external displays caused segfault
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: The 10.9 SDK defines `GLintptrARB` and `GLsizeiptrARB`
differently from the Khronos `glext.h`
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: Creating hidden windows would steal application focus
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: Controllers were reported as having zero buttons and axes
- [Cocoa] Bugfix: Removed joystick axis value negation left over from GLFW 2
- [X11] Added setting of the `WM_CLASS` property to the initial window title
- [X11] Added support for `_NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR`
- [X11] Bugfix: Removed joystick axis value negation left over from GLFW 2
