14Mesa 7.1 is a new development release.
Brian Paul5173fc62008-05-27 12:51:10 -0600[diff] [blame]15There have been many internal code changes since Mesa 7.0.x.
16It should be relatively stable, but those who are especially concerned about
Brian Paul17e9bbd2008-08-26 15:58:42 -0600[diff] [blame^]17stability should wait for Mesa 7.2 or use Mesa 7.0.4 (the previous stable
18release).

21Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
22The master branch of git uses GEM.
23</p>
24<p>
25DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.1

55<ul>
Briand70fa022007-06-12 15:16:21 -0600[diff] [blame]56<li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
57Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
58The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
59have valgrind. Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
Brian347bb542007-05-14 14:40:59 -0600[diff] [blame]60<li>Switch to freeglut
61<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
62<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
