Hello Mark,

yes this are good news - all major vendors supporting now OpenCL 1.1.
However I saw a few regressions in the GL-CL interoperability area. For
example i did not manage to share buffers between an AMD or Intel CL
(CPU) and a NV GL (GPU) context. Lets hope this is only a bug.

regards,
michael
