Release notes for version 3.5 {#news}

[TOC]

New features {#features}

Unlimited mouse buttons {#unlimited_mouse_buttons}

GLFW now has an input mode which allows an unlimited number of mouse buttons to be reported by the mouse buttton callback, rather than just the associated mouse button tokens. This allows using mouse buttons with values over 8. For compatibility with older versions, the @ref GLFW_UNLIMITED_MOUSE_BUTTONS input mode needs to be set to make use of this.

EGLConfig native access function {#eglconfig}

GLFW now provides the @ref glfwGetEGLConfig native access function for querying the EGLConfig of a window that has a EGLSurface.

GLXFBConfig native access function {#glxfbconfig}

GLFW now provides the @ref glfwGetGLXFBConfig native access function for querying the GLXFBConfig of a window that has a GLXWindow.

Support for Windows XP and Vista has been removed. Windows XP has been out of extended support since 2014.

Original MinGW support has been removed {#original_mingw}

Support for the now unmaintained original MinGW distribution has been removed.
