The bigger issue here is we need to ditch [[PUI]] (which is in progress) and some OpenGL 1.0 code (HUD, 2D panels especially - can be #ifdef for now) so we can enable Core profile on Mac - since Mac 4.x support (we only hit about 4.3 alas, but with some extensions to get in sight of 4.5) is Core profile only, no Compatability mode. | The bigger issue here is we need to ditch [[PUI]] (which is in progress) and some OpenGL 1.0 code (HUD, 2D panels especially - can be #ifdef for now) so we can enable Core profile on Mac - since Mac 4.x support (we only hit about 4.3 alas, but with some extensions to get in sight of 4.5) is Core profile only, no Compatability mode. | ||
Improving the frame-rate and modernised 3D rendering, can’t be worked on until the PUI code, 2D panels and Shiva are removed, but doing so is a frustrating slow path<ref>{{cite web | |||

Given that with many graphics drivers PUI doesn't render correctly when higher shader quality is on, many people are convinced PUI needs to be replaced.<ref>{{cite web | |||

While most people seem to agree PUI needs to be replaced, it sounds as if the fallout from doing so [using Qt5] would be more painful (cumulatively) than the pain its existence causes.<ref>{{cite web | |||
