OpenGL 1.4 Spec Announced

Vertex programming framework, setting the stage for user-defined geometry, lighting and shading programs and enabling high-level general-purpose shading languages

Automatic texture mipmap generation, providing updates and texture filtering for dynamic textures

Multiple draw arrays for higher geometry throughput

Window raster position, for precise 2D and image rendering

User-defined fog coordinate, for advanced fog effects

User-defined secondary color, point parameters, texture level-of-detail bias, texture crossbar, and new frame buffer blending modes and stenciling functions for flexible shading and rendering effects. OpenGL 1.4 implementations are expected to be available for various platforms later this year.
