Hello everybody,

I just encountered a problem after updating an existing (and working!) project from GLFW 2.7.8 to GLFW 3.0.1 - I guess the subject kind of says it all. 🙂

With 2.7.8 context creation with a 3.2 core profile worked perfectly fine, now with 3.0.1 if I request a 3.2 context window creation fails, if I don’t request any specific context I get a 2.1 one…

Oh, I’m using Xcode 4.6.3 by the way. Don’t really think it matters, though.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Edit:  
Problem solved!

> glfwWindowHint(GLFW\_OPENGL\_FORWARD\_COMPAT, GL\_TRUE);

did the trick! 🙂
