The 'Core' Profile Builds on Top of OpenGL 3.1 (Without Arb_Compatibility). A Profile Is a Well Defined Subset of the OpenGL Specification. The 'Core' Profile and the 'Compatibility' Profile. Starting with OpenGL 3.2, The OpenGL ARB HAS Introduced Two Profiles. This Means That If The ARB_COMPATILITY EXTENSION NAME IS PRESENT IN THE OPENGL EXTENTION STRING, THAT THE OPENGL IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORTS A FULLY BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE OPENGL 3.1.

NVIDIA DOES Support This Extension Across All Its OpenGL 3 Capable Offerings. Some OpenGL VENDORS Might Chose Not to Implement IT.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ARB_COMPATILITY EXTENSION IS OPTIONAL. No 'ARB' Suffix Has Been attached, for example. The Entry Points and Takens In This Extension Have Not Changed. This Single Extension Encapsulates All the Removed Functionality, and Re-Introduces That Back Into Core OpenGL 3.1. To Support That Market Need, The Arb_Compatibility Extension Has Been Created. HOWEVER, THE OPENGL ARB HAS RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS A Need to Provide Both New Functionality in Future Versions of OpenGL, and Still Support The Removed Functionality. The OpenGL 3.1 Specification Removed Those Features That Were Marked As Deprecated in OpenGL 3.0. Several Features Are Marked As Deprecated in The OpenGL 3.0 Specification (But None Are Removed). IS Not Actually Removed Yet From OpenGL 3.0, But This Means That Future Versions of OpenGL Will Remove Features. Deprecation Means That A Feature Is Marked for Removal From A Future Version of the OpenGL Spec. Together with OpenGL 3.0, The OpenGL ARB Introduced A Deprecation Mechanism. Either the 'core' or the 'compatibility' profile.Дў) I Hear About Deprecation and Removing Functionality from OpenGL. There IS A New Context Creation Call Createcontextattribsarb (for WGL and GLX Defined in the WGL / GLX_ARB_CREATE_CONTEXT EXTENSIONS) That You Should Use in Order to Request a Context That Supports OpenGL 3 or OpenGL 4.ДЇor OpenGL 3.2, and Later Versions Including OpenGL 4.1, You Additionally Will Have to Indicate What Profile You Want The OpenGL Context to Support. In Order to Use OpenGL 3.0 and Later Versions, An Application Should 'Opt In' to Use These Versions.
