+Changes between JOGL 1.1.0 and 1.1.1:
+
+ - Fixed a bug in the checking of incoming buffers' sizes to
+   glTexImage1D, glTexImage2D, and glTexImage3D.
+
+Changes between JOGL 1.0.0 and 1.1.0:
+
+ - The glext.h and associated header files JOGL uses have been updated
+   to OpenGL 2.1 with NVidia's GeForce 8 series extensions. The new
+   functions are available as methods in the GL interface.
+
+ - The developer build bundles have been changed to zip archives, so
+   instead of having to download multiple jars, you can now just
+   download the zip archive for your particular platform. The new zip
+   archives are versioned with the build date.
+
+ - The source distribution now contains the generated sources like
+   GL.java, GLU.java, etc. for more convenient use in IDEs.
+
+ - The chosen GLCapabilities are now exposed from the GLDrawable via
+   GLDrawable.getChosenGLCapabilities(); this functionality works on
+   all platforms even in cases where the GLCapabilitiesChooser is not
+   supported, and attempts to provide correct answers so programs can
+   make decisions based on the results.
+
+ - The native code for the "DRI hack" (to support the open-source DRI
+   drivers on Linux and other X11 platforms) has been removed; JOGL
+   now uses the GlueGen NativeLibrary class for this purpose.
+   Reliability improvements have been made to the implementation of
+   this class; it has been confirmed as working again with ATI's
+   proprietary drivers on Linux and should also work better with
+   NVidia's drivers.
+
+ - The GlueGen runtime classes have been removed from jogl.jar. These
+   have been factored out into gluegen-rt.jar and are referenced by
+   both the JOGL and JOAL projects.
+
+ - Thanks to John Burkey some optimizations have been made to the
+   buffer object-related validity checks in glVertexPointer, etc. as
+   well as a buffer size query that was being made in the glMapBuffer
+   implementation. This improves performance for applications
+   performing a lot of VBO- or vertex array-based rendering, in
+   particular with the multithreaded OpenGL implementation on Mac OS
+   X.
+
+ - The JOGL applet launcher now supports deployment of applets which
+   use both OpenGL for 3D graphics via JOGL as well as OpenAL for
+   spatialized audio via JOAL. It now prompts the user on Windows
+   platforms to allow it to enable the -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
+   system property for best robustness. It has been updated for the
+   changes in the GlueGen runtime classes and native library
+   structure. Some bugs have been fixed, some of which were preventing
+   different JOGL-based applets from being deployed from the same
+   codebase. The documentation and on-line examples have been updated
+   as well.
+
+ - The TextureIO implementation has been changed to no longer copy the
+   data associated with BufferedImage TextureData objects. Instead,
+   the necessary vertical flip is now implemented by flipping the
+   texture coordinates vertically.
+
+ - An API for updating a sub-image of a Texture object from a
+   sub-portion of a TextureData object has been added.
+
+ - A GLContext.copy() operation has been added based on community
+   feedback.
+
+ - Three helper classes have been added to the com.sun.opengl.util.j2d
+   package to improve interoperability between JOGL and Java 2D:
+   TextureRenderer, Overlay and TextRenderer. The TextureRenderer
+   supports drawing into an OpenGL texture using Java 2D. The Overlay
+   class provides a convenient Java 2D-based overlay on top of an
+   arbitrary GLDrawable. The TextRenderer class supports drawing of
+   Java 2D text into an OpenGL context. Thanks to Chris Campbell of
+   the Java 2D team for collaboration and to the JOGL community for
+   extensive feedback and testing assistance.
+
+ - Various bug fixes and robustness improvements were made to the
+   GlueGen runtime, JOGL and GLU implementations.
+
+ - Fixes to the DDSImage class were contributed by the community: a
+   bug fix to mipmap handling and support for cubemap textures. Thanks
+   to java.net user bandures.
+
+ - TextureIO.setTexRectEnabled() and isTexRectEnabled() were added
+   based on feedback from Chris Campbell, in order to simplify the
+   writing of pixel shaders which have different samplers for
+   GL_TEXTURE_2D and GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB targets.
+
+ - Thanks to Erik Tollerud, the links to the OpenGL documentation in
+   the JOGL javadoc were revised to point to the new on-line man pages
+   in the OpenGL SDK.
+
+ - Support for automatic mipmap generation via GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP was
+   added to the TextureIO, TextureRenderer and TextRenderer classes.
+
+ - Windows/AMD64 binaries, including the JOGL Cg binding, are now
+   supplied.
+
+ - Worked around breakage of JOGL with 5.0u10; see Sun bug IDs 6504460
+   and 6333613.
