# Release notes for version 3.5 {#news}

[TOC]


## New features {#features}

### Unlimited mouse buttons {#unlimited_mouse_buttons}

GLFW now has an input mode which allows an unlimited number of mouse buttons to
be reported by the mouse buttton callback, rather than just the associated
[mouse button tokens](@ref buttons). This allows using mouse buttons with
values over 8. For compatibility with older versions, the
@ref GLFW_UNLIMITED_MOUSE_BUTTONS input mode needs to be set to make use of
this.

### Window hint for hardware acceleration {#acceleration}

You can use window hint [GLFW_ACCELERATION](@ref GLFW_ACCELERATION_hint) to
specify whether hardware acceleration is preferred or not.  The default value
is to prefer hardware acceleration.  You can get whether hardware acceleration
is enabled with the window attribute
[GLFW_ACCELERATION](@ref GLFW_ACCELERATION_attrib).  This feature is only
available on WGL currently.


## Caveats {#caveats}

### Microsoft GDI software OpenGL ICD support {#gdi_opengl_icd}

GLFW now supports creating window when the Microsoft GDI software OpenGL ICD is
the only available implementation.
See [GLFW_ACCELERATION](@ref GLFW_ACCELERATION_hint) for more details.
