Improvements

• Core: Migrated jsr305 nullability annotations to JSpecify (https://jspecify.dev). (#1008)
• The org.jspecify:jspecify dependency remains optional.
• Core: Added Configuration.DISABLE_HASH_CHECKS, a dynamic option that disables shared library hash checks. (#1007)
• FreeBSD: LWJGL now requires FreeBSD 13.3 or later. (up from 13.2)
• OpenGL: Added Configuration.OPENGL_CONTEXT_API option to control the default OpenGL context management API.
• OpenGL: The Configuration.OPENGL(ES)_CONTEXT_API options now support "OSMesa" as a value.
• Similar to GLFW_OSMESA_CONTEXT_API, LWJGL will try to load libOSMesa when enabled, without having to change Configuration.OPENGL_LIBRARY_NAME.
• OpenGL: The default context management API is now EGL when Wayland is detected.
• msdfgen: Added support for glyph index based msdfgen-ext APIs. (#1002)

Fixes

• Core: Fixed support for va_list parameters.

Breaking Changes

• Core: Replaced thread-local storage of errno/GetLastError() with virtual output parameters. (#1003)
• The LibCErrno.getErrno() and WinBase.getLastError() methods have been removed.
• System calls in org.lwjgl.system.linux.*, org.lwjgl.system.windows.* and org.lwjgl.opengl.WGL now take an optional output parameter for the error code.
• This approach is similar to Linker.Option.CaptureCallState in Project Panama's FFM API.
• Core: Dropped support for non-LTS JDK versions earlier than the latest LTS version.
• Supported JDK versions: 8, 11, 17, 21+
• The module-info class and the first batch of multi-release overrides now live under META-INF/versions/11 instead of META-INF/versions/9.
