Name : freeglut
Product : Fedora 20
Version : 2.8.1
Release : 3.fc20
URL : http://freeglut.sourceforge.net
Summary : A freely licensed alternative to the GLUT library
Description :
freeglut is a completely open source alternative to the OpenGL Utility Toolkit
(GLUT) library with an OSI approved free software license. GLUT was originally
written by Mark Kilgard to support the sample programs in the second edition
OpenGL 'RedBook'. Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical
applications because it is simple, universally available and highly portable.
freeglut allows the user to create and manage windows containing OpenGL
contexts on a wide range of platforms and also read the mouse, keyboard and
joystick functions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
The new freeglut checks whether a menu is active before allowing a manipulation with it.
This crashes some applications. This release simply removes the checks and restores the
old behaviour.

- fix #1017551: don't crash on manipulating active menus
