None of the libraries for Blender gets automatically updated.
Quickly looking at my libraries, it seems OpenPGL for Blender is still on 0.4.1

Thanks for the reply. From what I can tell, it doesn’t seem to be performance improvements, just api changes? Would this mean the calls to the api would need to be refactored, instead of it being a slot in change?

The Cycles side of the code has been updated to support OpenPGL when it gets updated to 0.5.0
See: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/commit/aa6e95281f165daf72f125c2d34c5fc016368c36
I hope this helps answer your question.
Also, based on the comment, it seems Blender/Cycles might of already been using a beta version of 0.5.0, but I may be wrong or mis-interpreted it.

Hi!
I Thought you should know about this strongly discussed new thread. I think we’re in need of cycles developers giving their technical opinion on this.
Greetings!

There’s nothing in that thread worth any of the developers time yet. After people start doing test renders and comparisons and having boring factual conversations about the renders, then maybe someone from that thread will come over here and post results that might be of interest to the developers.
