These packages were built with libjpeg-turbo 1.4.2:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/files/1.4.2/

Packaging changes

Since both Cygwin and Cygwin64 now supply the TurboJPEG API DLL from libjpeg-turbo, the Cygwin packages are now linked against this DLL rather than statically linked against the libjpeg-turbo SDK.

Package signatures

To ensure the integrity of the VirtualGL binary packages, the RPM and DEB files and the source tarball are signed using the following key:
http://www.VirtualGL.org/key/VGL-GPG-KEY-1024
http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6BBEFA1972FEB9CE
and the Windows installers are signed using a code signing certificate.

Cygwin

See http://www.virtualgl.org/Documentation/Cygwin for Cygwin installation instructions.

2.5

Significant changes relative to 2.5 beta1:

  1. OS X 10.11 "El Capitan" no longer allows packages to install files under /usr/bin, and this was preventing the VirtualGL binary package for OS X from installing on that platform. The symlinks to vglclient and vglconnect that the OS X package previously installed under /usr/bin have thus been removed in this version of VirtualGL. It will therefore be necessary to invoke vglconnect and vglclient using the full pathname (/opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglconnect or /opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglclient) or to add /opt/VirtualGL/bin to the PATH.

  2. Fixed a regression introduced by 2.5 beta1[13] that caused certain system commands (such as uname, hostname, etc.) to crash when running those commands using vglrun on current Arch Linux spins (glibc 2.22, GCC 5.2.) This possibly affected other non-OpenGL, non-X11 applications on other bleeding-edge Linux distributions as well.

  3. vglserver_config should now work properly with MDM (MATE Display Manager), if its config files are installed in the standard location (/etc/mdm).

  4. Fixed a regression introduced in 2.4 that caused vglrun to abort with VGL_ISACTIVE=1: is not an identifier when running on Solaris 10 (or other systems in which /bin/sh doesn't support export VAR=value syntax.)

  5. Fixed a regression introduced by 2.5 beta1[3] whereby the VirtualGL faker would segfault on Solaris if the 3D application called one of the GLX/OpenGL functions that VirtualGL interposes and the underlying OpenGL library (libGL) did not implement that function.
