Does glfw have a “getVersion” function?

Is there a way to hide border (some apis call it hide window decorations).

Since threads and textures are being removed; anyone have any suggestions on  
some libs (with C wrappers) for both ? What sounds apis you guys like, just  
use OpenAL directly?

For threading, you may be interested in  
[TinyThread++](http://tinythread.sourceforge.net/) (for C++) and TinyCThread  
(for C). The latter is only available in a [Subversion repo]([http://tinythre](http://tinythre)  
[TinyThread++ download | SourceForge.net](http://ad.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tinythread/trunk/tinycthread/)) right now (no  
release), but it works quite well.

For imaging, here’s a tiny library (haven’t tried it myself yet):  
[http://nothings.org/stb\_image.c](http://nothings.org/stb_image.c)

Use glfwGetVersion.

Undecorated windows are coming in GLFW 3.

I use OpenAL and libpng.

Thanks; but glfwGetVersion reports the OpenGL version not version of the glfw  
api? It keeps coming back as 3.3 rev 0.

That’s very strange. Which version of GLFW is this?
