Will try to update the graphical stack (and a few other packages that I know well)

freeglut 3.4.0

Release date: 7 October 2022

• Add GLUT_ACTIVE_SUPER modifier, and corresponding GLUT_KEY_SUPER_L and GLUT_KEY_SUPER_R special keys. These map to Windows/Command keys.
  
• Fix RGB mode (GLUT_RGBA) colors on 8bpp displays on windows (construct default RGB332 palette).
  
• Fix indexed color context creation on X11 and windows (GLUT_INDEX).
  Add missing colormap management functions for X11 and windows (glutSetColor, glutGetColor).
  
• Fix crash when calling glutTimerFuncUcall.
  
• Fix FreeBSD build by essentially disabling the joystick code for newer FreeBSD versions. It will eventually need to be replaced/fixed.
  
• Add fallbacks for the old GLX (<1.3) context creation API (glXChooseVisual/glXCreateContext), makes us compatible with IRIX 5.x and other old UNIX systems.
  
• Add fallbacks for OpenGL 1.0 (no vertex arrays/client state).
  Use nanosleep instead of usleep on UNIX, which is more widely supported on old UNIX systems.
  
• Fix build on X11 if GL_SAMPLES is not defined.
  
• Fix overly strict context version checking on Android leading to context creation failure in some cases.
  
• Fix GLUT_CURSOR_INFO on windows, should be IDC_HAND, not IDC_HELP.
  
• Fix mismatched font declarations on X11.
  
• Add alternative simple ways to build freeglut with native tools only, without having to use cmake.
  
• Fix build on windows with cmake 3.0.0. Explicitly link with gdi32.
  
• Fix build on MSVC 2005.
  
• Fix build on MacOS X. Link with all the necessary X libraries.
  
• Fix build on SGI IRIX.
  
• Fix build on Android (mismatched function prototypes and missing glutCreateMenuUcall).
  
• Add support for the ninja multi-config generator.
  
• Removed spurious dependency on a C++ compiler. One of the demos was being compiled as C++ for no reason.
  
• Silence unnecessary warnings when VBOs or GLSL are not available.
  
• New demo programs: 3dview, keyboard, joystick.
  
• Documentation: added MacOS X build instructions.
  
• Made it possible to eventually support building freeglut as a single compilation unit, by avoiding name conflicts on static variables.
  
• Other minor fixes.
