With OpenGL 4.5 we have several powerful improvements (against 4.3 thatwas covered in 6th edition of the book): immutable storage for buffers(textures had immutable storage already in the version 4.2), robustness,OpenGL ES compatibility, Direct State Access and someother extensions aswell.
Extensively revised, this edition presents many new OpenGL 4.3 features, includingcompute shaders, texture views, indirect draws, and enhanced API debugging. It hasbeen reorganized to focus more tightly on the API, to cover the entire pipelineearlier, and to help you thoroughly understand the interactions between OpenGL andgraphics hardware.
