Description Sven Gothel 2024-02-03 02:59:57 CET

Bernhard Haumacher provided changes in May 2020 to the typecast project within his public branch https://github.com/haumacher/typecast

This merges the pre-write-feature work, which probably is incomplete.

Our typecast branch https://jogamp.org/cgit/typecast.git/log/?h=jogl_patches
