A late May OpenGL status drivers this month as I am just back front travelling. AMD seems to have skip May drivers but a beta of June drivers is available. This looks like to be related to a new drivers release strategy aiming at improving the drivers quality. With the announcement that AMD will not longer support OpenGL 3 GPUs, this should free quite some resources, so it will be interesting to see how the drivers evolve in the near future. I am personnaly afraid that this is only going to delay even more bug fixes to be released.
Last month quite a few new bugs (crashes) have appeared on the bug report. It looks like that those were Southern Island architechture specific bugs and the samples work fine on Evergreen GPUs.
This month the last release drivers appears to be for GeForce, Forceware 301.42; and for Radeon, Catalyst 12.6 beta (8.98).
These tests have been done on Windows 7 64 with the OpenGL Samples Pack 4.2.4 branch, still in development, on a GeForce GTX 680 and a Radeon HD 7750.
Once again, don't forget to contribute to the OpenGL community by reporting your bugs!
