Summary0004337: VolumeRendering and OpenGL extension check
DescriptionThe Volume mapper choice must be abstracted away from the user. We should treat the choice as a suggestion. A server-side composite mapper at render-time checks if extensions are supported and uses the recommended one or the best it decides.

This will solve the OpenGL extension quering dilemma on the client.

Is this still a valid bug?

It is still a valid bug, since it'd be nice to have a composite mapper that takes the decision of the best possible volume rendering method to use rather than the user deciding though.

Although the complications that arose due to the fact that the extension check was taking place when the pipeline was connected is no longer valid, since we now check for extensions on the first Update() call.
