history
Project history and usage
glbinding@2 is the Homebrew versioned formula for the 2.x generation of glbinding, the C++ OpenGL binding generated from Khronos gl.xml. The formula role is to keep the older major line installable for projects that have not moved to the later glbinding API and build assumptions.
Project history
The upstream glbinding project began publishing 1.x releases in 2014, followed by 2.0.0 in 2016 and 2.1.x releases through 2018. The official documentation index lists v2.0 and v2.1 documentation branches, which is the source-backed reason a package manager can expose a versioned 2.x formula separately from the unversioned formula.
Adoption history
Versioned formulas like glbinding@2 matter in graphics stacks because downstream applications may be tied to a C++ API, CMake package layout, compiler baseline, or ABI expectation from a specific major line. The formula therefore serves compatibility and reproducibility rather than representing a separate upstream project.
How it is used
Practitioners install glbinding@2 when they need the 2.x headers, library names, tools, and documentation behavior expected by an older OpenGL application or build recipe. They still use the upstream pattern: create an OpenGL context with a toolkit such as GLFW, GTK, Qt, or SDL, initialize glbinding, and link through the package's CMake integration.
Why package nerds care
For package nerds, glbinding@2 is a textbook versioned formula: same upstream repository, same project identity, but a pinned major branch kept available to avoid forcing all dependent graphics software onto the unversioned formula's major line at once.
Timeline
- 2014: glbinding 1.0.0 is published on GitHub releases.
- 2016: glbinding 2.0.0 is published.
- 2016-2018: glbinding 2.1.x releases form the later 2.x series.
- 2018: glbinding.org lists v2.0 and v2.1 documentation branches.

- Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 10 platform targets.
- Build metadata lists 1 build dependencies.
Recommended review
Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
