OpenGL version 1.4, released on July 24, 2002, is the fourth revision since the original version 1.0. Version 1.4 is upward compatible with earlier versions, meaning that any program that runs with a 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, or 1.0 GL implementation will also run unchanged with a 1.4 GL implementation. In addition to numerous additions to the classical fixed-function GL pipeline in OpenGL 1.4, the OpenGL ARB also approved the ARB vertex program extension, which supports programmable vertex processing. Following are brief descriptions of each addition to OpenGL 1.4:

Um, was the reference to ARB vertex program, above, supposed to be to ARB fragment program? I just ask because I note that ARB fragment program isn't described in the list of extension descriptions later. I mean, we know what it does, obviously, given its earlier discussion on this list, it just seemed strange to mention ARB vertex program in the above context, then not mention ARB fragment program at all.

Just curious, thanks.
