- Core: Replaced internal usages of dyncall with libffi.
- This resolves a range of long-standing issues, mainly with upcalls (callbacks).
- Single native callback handler used for all upcalls, regardless of signature. Arguments and return values handled Java-side (per callback type).
- Improved upcall performance (before: JNI downcall per argument, after: simple memory accesses)
- Support for structs returned by-value. (#283)
- Core: Implemented overflow protection in text encoding methods.
- Core: When LWJGL fails to resolve native libraries, it will now attempt to report native JAR files in the classpath with mismatching platform/architecture. (#587)

- GL/GLES/AL: Added
createCapabilities
overloads that accept anIntFunction<PointerBuffer>
. Enables explicit management of the off-heap memory used by the capabilities instances. - GL/GLES/AL: When capabilities creation fails, the current thread/process capabilities state is no longer reset to null.
- GL/GLES/AL/CL/EGL: Added
Configuration
options to forcibly disable specific extensions for debugging purposes. (#683) - OpenAL: Introduced
ALC::setCapabilities
. Rarely useful when opening multiple devices with different ALC capabilities. (#582) - Vulkan: Struct classes now include an additional
sType
setter that writes the appropriate struct type value. (#537) - Vulkan: Struct classes now include type-safe
pNext
setters, one for each struct type that is known to extend them.- These setters prepend the struct to the
pNext
chain, enabling cleaner code when chaining multiple structs. - Order does not matter, but do note that structs will be chained in the reverse order of the
pNext
calls. - Also be careful when the base struct is
malloc
ed, make sure to call.pNext(NULL)
first, otherwise the last struct in the chain will point to invalid memory.

Improvements
- Versioned classes in bindings now form inheritance hierarchies.
- Applicable to the following versioned classes:
AL
,ALC
,CL
,EGL
,GL
,GLES
,GLX
,VK
- For example, the
GL30
class now extends theGL21
class,GL21
extendsGL20
and so on. - With this change, importing a versioned class allows all symbols up to that version to be resolved. Earlier versions do not need to be imported separately.
- Applicable to the following versioned classes:
- perf(core):
memGetAddress
/memPutAddress
are now an order of magnitude faster on 32-bit JVMs. - perf(core): Optimized pointer arithmetic by helping the JVM identify unsigned integers.
- perf(core): The new
java.util.Objects
index check intrinsics are used on Java 9. - perf(core):
MemoryUtil
string decoding methods are now faster on both Java 8 and 9+.- The Java 9 implementations are tuned for compact strings (JEP 254).
- perf(generator): Function pointers in capabilities classes are not sorted by name anymore.
- This makes it more likely that for functions that are commonly used together, their respective pointers
will be closer in memory, avoiding unnecessary cache misses.
- This makes it more likely that for functions that are commonly used together, their respective pointers

PointerBuffer
javadoc. - docs: The LWJGL javadoc is now generated with JDK 10.
- Core:
MemoryUtil
methods now replace requests for zero-size allocations with non-zero-size allocations.- A zero-size allocation now always returns a non-
NULL
pointer or throws anOOME
. This is consistent withByteBuffer.allocateDirect
and avoids the undefined behavior of native allocators. - The returned buffer has a capacity of zero, regardless of the actual allocation size.
- A zero-size allocation now always returns a non-
- Core
MemoryUtil.memRealloc
is not@Nullable
anymore, will either succeed or throw anOOME
, likememAlloc/memCalloc
. - Core: It is now possible to create a
MemoryStack
backed by externally managed memory. - Core: The debug allocator now also tracks internal allocations of shared libraries that have been configured to use the LWJGL memory allocator.
- This enables monitoring/debugging allocations inside shared libraries. Internal resources that are never released are now reported on shutdown.
- Enabled by default when
Configuration.DEBUG_MEMORY_ALLOCATOR
is enabled. - May be disabled with
Configuration.DEBUG_MEMORY_ALLOCATOR_INTERNAL.set(false)
.
- LMDB: The LWJGL memory allocator is now used for internal allocations.
- NanoVG/NanoSVG: The LWJGL memory allocator is now used for internal allocations.
- OpenGL/GLES: Calling an unavailable function triggers a JNI
FatalError
instead of an arbitrary segfault.- Avoids the intimidating crash log and writes a clean stack trace to
stderr
.
- Avoids the intimidating crash log and writes a clean stack trace to
Fixes
- Generator: Fixed nullability of macro bindings.
- Generator: Fixed location of generated static blocks
- Core: Struct buffer
malloc/calloc
methods now support zero capacity, instead of throwing aNPE
. - macOS: Fixed version number detection in
.dylib
name mapping - Nullability fixes in:
- Assimp
- CGL
- Yoga
- Parameters of struct multi-setter methods
- OpenCL: Fixed
CL_DEVICE_PREFERRED_VECTOR_WIDTH_INT
constant name. - OpenCL: Dropped unnecessary
clSetKernalArg3<t>
overloads. - OpenGL/GLES: The thread-local-free function pointer lookups do not depend on JVMTI anymore.
- stb: Fixed type of
stbi_write_jpg
function'sdata
parameter.
Breaking Changes

- stb_truetype: Exposed members of internal structures for advanced glyph packing customization. (#358)
- Tootle: Now supports the Direct3D rasterizer for overdraw optimization.
Fixes
- JPMS: A natives module now
requires transitive
the corresponding Java module, instead of the opposite. (#334)- Enables loading shared libraries from non-modular paths/JARs.
- JPMS:
module-info
files have been moved underMETA-INF/version/9/
(#334)- All LWJGL artifacts are now multi-release JAR files to avoid trouble with older tools that are not compatible with Java 9.
- JPMS: Added appropriate
requires static
declarations to satisfy optional binding interop dependencies. (#369) - Fixed broken javadoc links in all bindings. Also updated URLs to avoid redirects.
- bgfx: Restored default API thread encoder functions, that were erroneously removed in
3.1.4
. - LibOVR: Fixed
ovr_TraceMessage
signature. - OpenAL: Fixed capability name of the
AL_SOFT_source_resampler
extension. - Tootle: Fixed
pnClusterRemapOut
parameter validation.
Breaking Changes
- Several methods that previously accepted
null
/NULL
and returnednull
, now require non-null input.- Applies to: struct & callback creation methods and
memByteBuffer
/memUTF8
/stack.UTF8
/etc. - Added corresponding methods with the
Safe
suffix that acceptnull
/NULL
, matching the old behavior. - With this change the common case (non-null input) requires no code changes and is warning/error-free. The uncommon case (null input) is recognizable (the suffix) and must be handled properly to eliminate warnings/errors.
- Applies to: struct & callback creation methods and
- Allocation methods that returned
null
/NULL
on allocation failure, now throwOutOfMemoryError
instead. This matches the behavior ofByteBuffer.allocateDirect
.- Applies to: struct allocation methods and
memAlloc
/memCalloc
/etc. - Does not apply to allocations via direct binding calls (e.g.
LibCStdlib.malloc
).
- Applies to: struct allocation methods and
- Getters of struct members that should never be
NULL
, throwNullPointerException
instead of returningnull
when the struct instance is not initialized.- Use
Struct::isNull
to test pointer members of untrusted struct instances.
- Use
- bgfx: Restored native mapping of
bgfx_init(_vendorId)
andbgfx_update_texture_cube(_side)
parameters. (#368) - bgfx:
uint16_t
bitfield constants are now mapped toint
. (#368) - glfw:
glfwInitHintString
has been renamed toglfwWindowHintString
. - lmdb: Databases developed on 32-bit architectures must be recreated. (#364)
- par_shapes: Changed
par_shapes_mesh::triangles
fromuint16_t/ShortBuffer
touint32_t/IntBuffer
. - stb_rect_pack:
stbrp_rect::was_packed
is now mapped to Javaboolean
.
