About **apitrace**
==================
**apitrace** consists of a set of tools to:
* trace OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Direct3D, and DirectDraw APIs calls to a file;
* replay OpenGL and OpenGL ES calls from a file;
* inspect OpenGL state at any call while retracing;
* visualize and edit trace files.
See the [apitrace homepage](http://apitrace.github.io/) for more details.
Status
======
TL;DR: Apitrace is still being maintained, but the maintainer has very little
time to work on it, so patches/issues/requests are addressed if/as time permits.
