LWJGL - The Lightweight Java Game Library Version 3.3 Released

 After more than two years, the long-awaited release of this open source library is finally here, and with a lot to offer.


Per the the project's official definition , LWJGL is:


a Java library that enables cross-platform access to popular native APIs useful in the development of graphics (OpenGL/Vulkan) , audio (OpenAL) and parallel computing (OpenCL) applications.


The part to note in this definition is that LWJGL provides access to native APIs through Java. That it is a wrapper over the APIs doesn't mean that you should not be familiar with the semantics of the underlying API. Hence to get the most out of LWJGL a good understanding of the native APIs is essential too.

Greenplum's Cloudberry Fork Enters Apache Incubator

  Cloudberry is the open source equivalent of Greenplum. Now it is fostered by the Apache Foundation as it acquires incubating status. It all began about six months ago. Greenplum's Github repositories was archived and went dark. This meant no more free new releases or security and bug fixes for its users. Why? Because in May 2024, Tanzu made the decision to close-source the project. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/17694-greenplums-cloudberry-fork-enters-apache-incubator-.html
