Since "Shannon Hayward.zip" likely refers to a digital archive containing specific work—potentially the poetry, photography, or AI art of a creator known for their Norse-inspired and spiritual themes—this blog post celebrates the depth and mystery found in their creative output.

Feeling a deep tether to her Norse and Swedish bloodlines.

Shannon Hayward is more than a name in a file name; she is a "bringer of news" for the soul. Whether she is writing about the Bifrost's open gates or sharing a new piece of digital art, her work reminds us to look beyond the surface of the screen and listen to the whispers of our own history.

Version 3.3.10 released

Posted on

GLFW 3.3.10 is available for download.

This is a bug fix release. It adds fixes for issues on all supported platforms.

Binaries for Visual C++ 2010 and 2012 are no longer included. These versions are no longer supported by Microsoft and should not be used. This release of GLFW can still be compiled with them if necessary, but future releases will drop this support.

Binaries for the original MinGW distribution are no longer included. MinGW appears to no longer be maintained and should not be used. The much more capable MinGW-w64 project should be used instead. This release of GLFW can still be compiled with the original MinGW if necessary, but future releases will drop this support.

Version 3.3.9 released

Posted on

GLFW 3.3.9 is available for download.

This is primarily a bug fix release for all supported platforms but it also adds libdecor support for Wayland. This provides better window decorations in some desktop environments, notably GNOME.

With this release GLFW should be fully usable on Wayland, although there are still some issues left to resolve.
