Whoops, fixed. Thanks, been a really long/rough day.

Seems that the extensions for OpenGL 4.4 will be ready before the ones for 4.3...

I don't know if Phoronix forums has a suggestion box, but:
Cannot the news section have a "suggestion type edit" where a (trusted) registered user suggest if there is a typo only the one putting the news can confirm?

It's seems redundant but it gives also a sense of community feedback and help. We the community helps with the site not just by filling the Forums with life.. sort of thing.
Though as a suggestion such as this I get that there is no time to implement this but it's a suggestion nonetheless.

Note: By trusted I mean that users get a "minor" mark for trolling, and those that help (for real) gets a simple automated "thank you" because it's a contribution.

With that one 4.3 extension remaining, GL_ARB_robust_buffer_access_behavior, is there any progress. Like patches or someone declaring that they're working on it?

Come on, robustness!

Hm, I wonder if that might be tarceri's next target.

I'm pretty sure it depends on {ARB,KHR}_robustness, which is noted as a separate extension in GL3.txt user GL ES 3.2.

If I'm understanding everything correctly: That's GL_KHR_robustness in OpenGL 4.5 which needs KHR_robustness. GL_ARB_robust_buffer_access_behavior just depends on ARB_robustness, which is already done.

Nope I will be working on finishing up the work on the shader cache :-)
