DevIL 1.7.1
DevIL (also called OpenIL) seems to re-birth after almost two years of silence. DevIL is back in a new version 1.7.1. Developer’s Image Library (DevIL) is a cross-platform image library utilizing a simple syntax to load, save, convert, manipulate, filter and display a variety of images with ease.
More information here: DevIL’s homepage

As soon as possible I’ll publish a VS2005 C++ project with OpenGL and DevIL. Stay tuned…
