Thank you very much!

Yes. 2.4 is a major release. By definition, we can break binary
compatability in major releases.
But, we are pretty careful not to change APIs unless it is
absolutely necessary so all
your porting effort involves not much more than a recompilation.
*Please read the release notes for details.*

2.4 supports OpenGL only. Yes, folks, it is time to say goodbye to
IRISGL :) (If you really can not live without IRISGL,
2.2.x is still shipped with future IRIX releases.)
Therefore, in 2.4, we have gotten rid off the _igl and _ogl
distinction.
> Anyway, to the complete Performer dev team: thanks for your efforts.
Thank you for your support!
Please feel free to let us know if you find bugs or things
that we need to improve on. Performer releases will come regularly
so together, we can always make it better on a predictable schedule.
Enjoy the library!
