19/12/2009 ATI Drivers reaches OpenGL 3.2 and OpenCL 1.0

It's really the Chrismas season! ATI Sanda has 2 gifts for us!

First one, just like I announced it in a previous news ATI finally releases their OpenCL 1.0 drivers!

Second one, the drivers finally support OpenGL 3.2! On that side, the news is even better! AMD has worked hard to make progress to catch up on Direct3D 11 features with extensions: GL_AMD_texture_compression_dxt6, GL_AMD_texture_compression_dxt7 and GL_AMD_seamless_cubemap_per_texture. I have no idea of what kind of feature brings GL_AMD_seamless_cubemap_per_texture but GL_AMD_texture_compression_dxt6 probably correspond to BC6 format and GL_AMD_texture_compression_dxt7 to BC7 format.

I have updated the OGL3 Samples Pack to make sure it's compatible with this new drivers, new release soon!
