# OpenGL Core and Compatibility context support
-OpenGL 3.1 and later versions are only supported with the Core profile.
-There are no plans to support GL_ARB_compatibility. The last supported OpenGL
-version with all deprecated features is 3.0. Some of the later GL features
-are exposed in the 3.0 context as extensions.
+Some drivers do not support the Compatibility profile or ARB_compatibility.
+Such drivers are limited to OpenGL 3.0 if the Core profile is not requested
+by applications. Some of the later GL features are exposed in the 3.0 context
+as extensions.
