I'm the upstream maintainer of GLEW, my comment is that although a lot
of packages depend on GLEW, the vast majority of changes are fully
backwards compatible.  1.11.0 is itself nearly one year old and is two
versions behind.  Fortunately for me I'm not having too much traffic
about obsolete bugs, but it's fairly discouraging to see such a delay
between fresh new OpenGL functionality and widespread availability to
GLEW-based apps.  I do think it would be good to see something newer
than 1.10.0 show up in Ubuntu 16.04....
