@SimonDanisch. I have tried to install GLVisualize.jl on my MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 with julia v0.6-pre-alpha (built 22 days ago) but got several precompilation errors. I will share the errors later (as I do not have access to the laptop now). In the meantime, just wanted to know, isGLVisualize.jl already known to work fine on OSX with latest julia v0.6? Are there known installation issues and/or are you currently working on v0.6 compatibility?

Sorry, but 0.6 is not supported right now... I really need to stark working on that, now that StaticArrays works with 0.6!

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you know how much/long it might take to have it v0.6-compatible?

Good question! Biggest blocking point is the switch to StaticArrays! I will take a look at it today...

I would love to be able to move to GLVisualize on v0.6. Although the GLVisualize time-to-first-plot is still a bit long, the performance is otherwise great. Any news here? Difficult roadblocks? Thanks for the work!

I started working on it this weekend! It started great, but then I run into a few weird bugs.
Let me finish up the release of GPUArrays and then I'm 100% back on this!

Given its heavy use of Reactive, I wouldn't be surprised if JuliaGizmos/Interact.jl#161 (see also JuliaLang/julia#21141) is a major problem. I'm sticking with 0.5 until that's fixed.

If you want to try!

for pkg in ("GLAbstraction", "GeometryTypes", "GLWindow")
    Pkg.checkout(pkg, "sd/staticarrays")
end
Pkg.checkout("ModernGL", "sd/v06")
Pkg.checkout("StaticArrays", "sd/fixedsizearrays")
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/FreeTypeAbstraction.jl.git")
Pkg.checkout("FreeTypeAbstraction", "sd/v06")

Still a lot of deprecation warnings and it segfaults at examples/lines/contourlines.jl ... Julia 0.6 really likes segfaulting -.-

This is solved in the newest release:
JuliaLang/METADATA.jl#10247
