Hi,

I’m looking to start my application with a maximized window, I haven’t found anything for this except a new branch :

[https://github.com/glfw/glfw/tree/maximize](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/tree/maximize)

So,

1. is it an official branch ?
2. will it be merged with the main branch ?
3. what is its status, does it works / stable ?

Thanks

Thanks,

It seems expected for the version 3.2 but do we have a release date ?

I’m guessing all of it, then. Do you need it for all platforms?
