| 11 | <H1>Mesa 7.2 Release Notes / 20 September 2008</H1> |
| 12 | |
| 13 | <p> |
| 14 | Mesa 7.2 is a stable release fixing bugs found in 7.1, which was a |
| 15 | new development release. |
| 16 | </p> |
| 17 | <p> |
| 18 | Mesa 7.2 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by |
| 19 | glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. |
| 20 | Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1. |
| 21 | </p> |
| 22 | <p> |
| 23 | Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager. |
| 24 | The master branch of git uses GEM. |
| 25 | The prototype DRI2 code that was in 7.1 has also been removed. |
| 26 | </p> |
| 27 | <p> |
| 28 | DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.2 |
| 29 | </p> |

| 46 | <h2>New features</h2> |
| 47 | <ul> |
| 48 | <li>i965 driver: added support for G41 chipset (Intel) |
| 49 | </ul> |
| 50 | |
| 51 | |
| 52 | <h2>Bug fixes</h2> |
| 53 | <ul> |
| 54 | <li>Fixed display list bug involving primitives split across lists (bug 17564) |
| 55 | <li>Fixed some issues with glBindAttribLocation() |
| 56 | <li>Fixed crash in _tnl_InvalidateState() found with Amira (bug 15834) |
| 57 | <li>Assorted bug fixes for Ming build |
| 58 | <li>Fixed some vertex/pixel buffer object reference counting bugs |
| 59 | <li>Fixed depth/stencil bug in i915/945 driver |
| 60 | <li>Fixed some shader flow control bugs in i965 driver |
| 61 | <li>Fixed a few tdfx driver bugs which prevented driver from working |
| 62 | <li>Fixed multisample enable/disable bug |
| 63 | </ul> |
| 64 | |
| 65 | <h2>Changes</h2> |
| 66 | <ul> |
| 67 | <li>Updated SGI header files with new license terms. |
| 68 | </ul> |
| 69 | |
| 70 | |
| 71 | |
| 72 | <h2>To Do (someday) items</h2> |
| 73 | <ul> |
| 74 | <li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy(). |
| 75 | Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc. |
| 76 | The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we |
| 77 | have valgrind. Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either... |
| 78 | <li>Switch to freeglut |
| 79 | <li>Fix linux-glide target/driver. |
| 80 | <li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs. |
| 81 | </ul> |
| 82 | |
