Roadmap for Shadertools

Shader Programming Improvements

GLSL 3.00 es support improvements

• GLSL language reference page with clear information on what has changed between GLSL 3.00 ES and GLSL 1.00 ES.
• Developer Guide for Shadertools
• All shader modules now written in GLSL 3.00 syntax
• Shader compiler automatically adapts GLSL 3.00 es to GLSL 1.00 es (and vice versa)
• Guidelines for writing shaders that work in both environments
• Unit tests for shader modules under both GLSL 1.00 and GLSL 3.00

Shader Module system improvements

• App can add its uniforms to the shader module system.
• Shader module system can now accept function valued uniforms, allowing animation of uniforms.
• Compute shaders

Support for Uniform Buffers

Unconditional support for Vertex Array Objects

VertexArrayObjects are now emulated under WebGL1, meaning that they can always be used.
