I've updated my project for the 0.9.9-2b release. I've added a few classes, but I'm still not at a full release since it is missing a few higher level fucntions still really needed in game programming.
I must say, I am very happy with OpenTK and it really simple use here.

You know an article is going to be good when it starts with those lines:

originally published in Gamasutra sister publication Game Developer magazine earlier this year, here are nine real-life examples of just that.
Not only are the stories good, the comments below are pure gold:

Back on Wing Commander 1 we were getting an exception from our EMM386 memory manager when we exited the game. We'd clear the screen and a single line would print out, something like "EMM386 Memory manager error. Blah blah blah." We had to ship ASAP. So I hex edited the error in the memory manager itself to read "Thank you for playing Wing Commander."
I still remember that line when you exited the game! :-)

A must read for all OpenGL developers: OpenGL 3.2 quick reference card! Also available for OpenCL.
Kudos to Khronos for creating those PDFs. They are invaluable for looking up some specific parameter or function quickly.
Now, I'm going to print them out and keep them by my workstation.

Major changes:

Updated: Is there anyone that know an easy-to-use package creator for Ubuntu? It would make my day :)
At work I use InnoSetup to create Setup.exe-files.
I think it is great because

step I take
It is free (you can donate if you like it)
It's scriptable (if you need custom steps like oalinst.exe)
Here is a screenshot of InnoSetup in action:
I used the built-in setup facilities of Visual Studio 2005 before that. I didn't know what I did, there were lots of checkboxes and radiobuttons and stuff, and I had problems with missing files at the customer. After that I decided to take more control of the process and avoid the "magic" stuff. Much better.. [Less]

The generator now supports geneting C# OpenCL wrappers the C headers. The OpenCL wrappers reside under the OpenTK.Compute.CL10 namespace of SVN trunk. An OpenCL sample has also been added to Examples.exe: if you have access to an OpenCL

implementation, please run the VectorAdd sample and report your results here.
AMD has released a public beta of its OpenCL implementation that you can download from AMD's developer website (free registration needed). This implementation runs on all SSE3-capable CPUs and is available for Window and Linux platforms.
There is a lot of fine-tuning left to do for OpenTK's OpenCL wrappers and the sooner you test the bindings, the sooner they will become ready for release. [Less]
