Hi Thomas,
For the Mac requirements OS 10.6 should* work now and for the rest of the
Blender 2.7x line. Blender 2.8 will require OS 10.7 but let's hope those
people have upgraded to 10.8 or 10.9 by now, for their sake.

*should means GHOST doesn't use newer APIs last time I checked.

On second thought, added a info for current stable release:
"(Note: These requirements are valid for the upcoming Blender 2.77 and
the Buildbot. Blender 2.76 still supports Windows XP and OpenGL 1.4
graphics cards.)"

Hi,
I updated the requirements page on blender.org:
http://www.blender.org/download/requirements/
* OpenGL 2.1 is now specified as the required minimum.
* Windows XP is not working anymore and therefore removed from the list
of supported platforms. (see https://developer.blender.org/T46843).

Thanks everyone for your enthusiastic support of this!
Rules of engagement:
0) Don't do anything that breaks Blender!
1) Assume OpenGL 2.1 and GLSL 1.2 are fully available. We'll check the GL
version once at startup.
2) Remove use of old APIs and runtime checks for things that are definitely

Here are the notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders

This is an OpenGL release from 2006 and widely in use nowadays.

Hi,
Mike: good plan, thanks you're having the time and energy to tackle it.
My main concern is that it shouldn't lead to a non-functional Blender. If
that's the case, I rather see it happening in a short lived branch, just to be
sure we don't frustrate people who depend on using the last versio
Mesa supports opengl 3.3 in software. -> http://mesamatrix.net/
I think we should even consider just taking SandyBridge intel as baseline

I agree with Brechts reasoning here and think we should do this now and in
master.

I’m not much an OGL guy, but fully support the proposal as well, think
past attempts have shown trying to keep at all cost compatibility with
very old standards just end up making evolution to modern ones
impossible… Having a nine years old version as ground mandatory basis
sounds totally reaso
Very good idea but some questions:
The point to write in a master branch is to get a pretty sure
integration and good testing. Couldn't this happen in the 2.8 branch if
this one get's also a buildbot entry? 2.77 will most certainly be a long
term release, I think it's better to let the whole cur
