LWJGL 3.1.5

[spasi]

LWJGL 3.1.5 has been released!

edit: This post was originally about 3.1.4. The build published to Maven Central was incompatible with Java 8, so it had to be replaced quickly with a new version.

You can now contribute to LWJGL by becoming a backer on Open Collective with a monthly/yearly/one-time donation to the project. The plan is to use donated funds:

• to cover server hosting & bandwidth expenses (currently ~$30 per month)
• to cover software & hardware expenses
• to offer bounties for documentation work (priorities: adding EGL & GLES javadoc, updating GL)
• to offer bounties for new bindings
• to offer bounties for new platform ports (priorities: ARM, Android)

Hi.

I get an error if I switch from 3.1.3:

[LWJGL] [MemoryAccessor] Unsupported JVM detected, this will likely result in low performance. Please inform LWJGL developers.

I use CentOS7 and Java:

java version "1.8.0_144"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

The error occurs, when I call:

glfwSetErrorCallback(GLFWErrorCallback.createPrint(System.err));

Despite this error, everything works fine.

The 3.1.4 build on Maven is bugged, it has been compiled with Java 9. The bytecode version is fine (JDK8), but JDK 9 introduced covariant returns in certain NIO methods and that's the error you're seeing.

Workarounds: use Java 9, download 3.1.4-SNAPSHOT, download LWJGL from the website or github.

There will be a 3.1.5 release immediately (hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning).

LWJGL 3.1.4 has been replaced by 3.1.5. It includes the AMD Tootle bindings and some minor fixes.
