## Project positioning
@@ -31,9 +31,11 @@ This project is intended as an implementation/translation layer.
The repository is organized into following top-level modules:
1. **MG_State** — state tracking and management logic for Graphics APIs.
2. **MG_Impl** — front-end implementations of Graphics APIs that interact with `MG_State` and `MG_Backend`.
2. **MG_Impl** — front-end implementations of Graphics APIs that interact with `MG_State` and `MG_Backend`: OpenGL, plus the window-system APIs EGL, GLX, WGL, CGL and NSOpenGL.
3. **MG_Backend** — per-backend translation layer that maps front-end Graphics APIs' semantics and state into concrete backend API calls (e.g. OpenGL ES, Vulkan).
4. **MG_Util** and other utility modules.
4. **MG_Pipe** and **MG_Remote** — the command stream between front-end and backend, and the client/server transport that lets the backend run in a separate process (see `docs/Disaggregated`).
5. **MG_Gbm** — a GBM backend whose buffers are images shared with the MobileGL server, so Wayland clients and compositors can exchange them as dma-bufs.
6. **MG_Util** and other utility modules.

## Compatibility & target
* **Short-term target:** `OpenGL 4.2 (Core Profile)`.
* **Target:** `OpenGL 4.6 (Core Profile)`, which both backends already report; the remaining work is closing the last 4.6 gaps and conformance.
* **Backends:**
* `Direct (Vulkan)`
* `Direct (OpenGL ES)`
* **Platforms:** Android, Linux (EGL/GLX, Wayland, usable as a glvnd vendor), Windows (WGL) and macOS (CGL/NSOpenGL).
* **Current development focus:**
* Performance improvement
* `MG_State` and `MG_Impl` for `OpenGL 4.2 (Core Profile)`
* `Direct (Vulkan)` backend
* `Direct (OpenGL ES)` backend
* OpenGL 4.6 completeness and conformance
* Disaggregated mode: the backend in a separate server process serving several clients, e.g. a full Linux desktop on Android with zero-copy window buffers
