There is almost zero profit in these projects

A-EON has invested tens of thousands over the years into the creation and maintenance of the OpenGL ES Library and received a fraction of the costs back.

You will get a free copy.

Hello,

- it will likely be released via Updater
- Almost all of the funds raise will go to the developer Daniel
- the new lib is not platform specific.
- users have requested a new version and Daniel has agreed to do it for a discounted rate if there is the interest.

News Release regarding the OpenGL-ES v4 Library is now here:

GET ITEM supports URL and WINDOWID (which can then be used as target)

RELOAD,POST and SMART are not yet implemented but planned soon.

* When closing AmiBench from the AmiBench menu it will attempt to shutdown any instances of YAM, AmiBrowser and AmiPDF before exiting, to help ensure data security.

Programs:
