Brian Paule2859ea2006-08-31 15:16:10 +0000[diff] [blame]33<ul>
34<li>Intel i965 "broadwater" DRI driver
35
36<li>GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object - allows encapsulation of a set of vertex
37 arrays in an object.
38
39<li>GL_EXT_texture_sRGB - non-linearly mapped texture formats
40
41<li>GL_EXT_gpu_program_parameters - addes a few new functions for setting
42 multiple vertex/fragment program parameters with one call.
Brian Paul60955d72006-09-21 22:51:16 +0000[diff] [blame]43<li>"engine" demo
44<li>updated fbdev driver and GLUT for fbdev (Sean D'Epagnier)
45<li>many updates to the DRI drivers
46</ul>
47
48<h2>Changes</h2>
49<ul>
50<li>The glVertexAttribARB functions no longer alias the conventional
51 vertex attributes.
52<li>glxinfo program prints more info with -l option
53<li>GL_FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_NV and GL_FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_ARB are now
54 compatible, in terms of glBindProgramARB()
55<li>The GL_ARB_vertex_program attribute <code>vertex.weight</code> is now
56 accepted by the parser, even though the GL_ARB_vertex_blend and
57 GL_EXT_vertex_weighting extensions aren't supported.
58 Allows Warcraft to run.
59</ul>
60
61<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
62<ul>
63<li>fixed broken texture border handling for depth textures (bug 6498)

65 version 117 of the GL_EXT_framebuffer_object specification
66<li>fixed a few render-to-texture bugs, including render to depth texture
67<li>clipping of lines against user-defined clip planes was broken (6512)
68<li>assembly language dispatch for SPARC was broken (bug 6484)
69<li>assorted compilation fixes on various Unix platforms (Dan Schikore)
70<li>glPopAttrib could restore an invalid value for GL_DRAW_BUFFER
71<li>assorted minor fixes for 16 and 32 bit/channel modes
72<li>fixed assorted bugs in texture compression paths

80<li>fixed R128 driver locking bug (Martijn van Oosterhout)
81<li>using evaluators with vertex programs caused crashes (bug 7564)
82<li>fragment.position wasn't set correctly for point/line primitives
83<li>fixed parser bug for scalar sources for GL_NV_fragment_program
84<li>max fragment program length was incorrectly 128, now 1024
85<li>writes to result.depth in fragment programs weren't clamped to [0,1]
86<li>fixed potential dangling pointer bug in glBindProgram()
87<li>fixed some memory leaks (and potential crashes) in Xlib driver
88<li>fixed a number of build issues on HP-UX (Christopher Bell)
89<li>accum buffer didn't work with OSMesa interface

93<h2>Internal code changes</h2>
94
95<p>
96A number of Mesa program-related structs were renamed.
97For example <i>struct vertex_program</i> is now <i>struct gl_vertex_program</i>.
98All the effected drivers have been updated.
99</p>
100
101<p>Ian Romanick updated the GL API dispatch code in a number of ways.
102First, many old/unused extensions were removed.
103Second, the static entrypoints for some extensions were removed.
104This means GL function pointers will have to be used more often
105(e.g. use glXGetProcAddressARB()).
106</p>
107
108
109<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
110<ul>
111<li>Switch to freeglut
112<li>Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
113<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
114<li>Fix lambda calculation for frag progs.
115</ul>
