Not at the moment, but what is the reason that you want a newer version of OpenGL?

Ah okay, I wanted to use it as soon it's going to become a standard and it will help me understand graphics programming. Thanks for the fast reply.

Oh. Is there any special function calls I need to do or does it just work out of the box when I include SFML/OpenGL.hpp and SFML/Graphics.hpp ?

Read the "OpenGL in a SFML window" tutorial, everything is explained.

Yea my bad....  :-\
I clicked the reply button to fast... Yes it is possibly to use higher versions of OpenGL.

I thought the OP wanted to make SFML internally work with a higher version like OpenGL ES.
