AMD to support OpenGL 4.1

Do you think AMD's support for OpenGL is going to improve (comparing to how it's now), and how do you think it might impact PlaneShift running with ATI cards?

Note the lack of OSX OpenGL support on AMD cards.

And interesting, that SolidWorks is involved there.

Supporting the latest features is one thing. Another thing is supporting common and usual features completely and correctly.

I am not sure about CrystalSpace 3D; but PlaneShift does not make use of OpenGL 4.x features yet. Relying on OpenGL 2.x features is already an issue for people with outdated or low-featured graphic solutions.
