The Khronos Group has released the OpenGL 4.2 at Siggraph 2011.
- GL_ARB_shader_atomic_counters
- GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store
- GL_ARB_shading_language_packing
- GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack
- GL_ARB_texture_storage
- GL_ARB_texture_compression_bptc
- GL_ARB_internalformat_query
- GL_ARB_base_instance
- GL_ARB_transform_feedback_instanced

To celebrate this event I wrote an OpenGL 4.2 review which hopefully will help to get started quickly with all the goodness of OpenGL 4.2.
NVIDIA has already announced their OpenGL 4.2 drivers, I am curious to see what my samples have to say about that.
More information and joy to come at the OpenGL BOF.
