12<p>
13Mesa 7.1 is a new development release.
Brian Paul5173fc62008-05-27 12:51:10 -060014There have been many internal code changes since Mesa 7.0.x.
15It should be relatively stable, but those who are especially concerned about
Brian Paul17e9bbd2008-08-26 15:58:42 -060016stability should wait for Mesa 7.2 or use Mesa 7.0.4 (the previous stable
17release).

Brian Paul17e9bbd2008-08-26 15:58:42 -060020Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
21The master branch of git uses GEM.

23<p>
24DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.1

Brian347bb542007-05-14 14:40:59 -060061<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
62<ul>
Briand70fa022007-06-12 15:16:21 -060063<li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
64Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
65The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
66have valgrind. Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
Brian347bb542007-05-14 14:40:59 -060067<li>Switch to freeglut
68<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
69<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
