| Release 1.7 (XXXX-XX-XX) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| - Piles of API documentation for the core i-g-t testing libraries. |
| |
| Release 1.6 (2014-03-13) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| - Changes to support Broadwell in the test suite. (Ben, Damien, et al.) |
| |
| - Updated (now working again!) Android support from Oscar Mateo. |
| |
| - Test coverage through i-g-t is now officially an integral part of any drm/i915 |
| feature work and also for bugfixes. For more details see: |
| |
| http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/11/testing-requirements-for-drmi915.html |
| |
| - Fix the gen4asm build dependency handling, now that the assembler is included in |
| i-g-t (Ben). |
| |
| - Improve the cairo object lifetime management of the kmstest helpers (Chris). |
| |
| - Allow register access to succeed if i915 is loaded but debugfs isn't found |
| (i.e. nomodeset is used) |
| |
| - New kernel modesetting helper library for simpler testcases (Damien). |
| |
| - New structure logging support for tests. Message at the WARN level be |
| reflected in the piglit result, also included igt_warn_on macros to simplify |
| test asserts which should just result in warnings, but not in a test abort. |
| |
| - Broadwell support for intel_audio_dump (Mengdong Lin). |
| |
| - API documentation support (Thomas) |
| |
| Release 1.5 (2013-11-06) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| - Some polishing of the test infrastructure, for details see: |
| |
| http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/09/more-drmi915-testsuite-infrastructure.html |
| |
| - Haswell support for the DPF tool (tools/intel_l3_parity) and other |
| improvements (Ben). |
| |
| - Stereo/3D support in testdisplay (Damien). |
| |
| - Support for gen7 gpu perf counters in tools/intel_perf_counters (Kenneth). |
| |
| - Improvements to the VBT decoder (Jani). |
| |
| - New tool to read legacy VGA registers (Ville). |
| |
| - New helpers in the test library to help deal with debugfs files and the new |
| display pipe CRC support (Damien). |
| |
| - Introduction of a proper naming convention for all the testcases, see |
| tests/NAMING-CONVENTION. |
| |
| - As usual tons of new testcases and improvements and bugfixes to existing ones. |
| |
| - The testsuite framework itself has gained some regression tests which can be |
| run at compile-time with "make check". |
| |
| - New helpers for the drop_cache kernel interface and use drop_caches(RETIRE) to |
| really make sure the gpu is idle in testcases (Oscar Mateo). |
| |
| Release 1.4 (2013-09-16) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| - Integration of the gen4+ assembler (Damien). |
| |
| - Start of a new performance analysis tool from Chris Wilson with front-ends for |
| both X11 and plain kms. This uses the perf subsystem and the gpu performance |
| counter kernel patches from Chris. |
| |
| - New register dumper quick_dump from Ben, with lots of work from Damien. This |
| will superseed intel_reg_dumper for newer platforms (which are not yet |
| released) since it will allow us to automatically generate register dumps from |
| the internal xml register specifications. |
| |
| - Tools to access the pletoria of new indirect register access functions on |
| newer platforms. |
| |
| - Framebuffer contents dumper to debug some of the nastier corruption issues. |
| The advantage here is that this bypasses any userspace drivers and so avoids |
| that the corruptions get magically fixed when taking an X screenshot. |
| |
| - Tons of new testcases. Including subtests we are now at roughly 450 tests! |
| |
| - Improvements to the test framework infrastructure. See |
| http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/08/recent-drmi915-testsuite-improvements.html |
| for an overview. |
| |
| Release 1.3 (2012-08-27) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| - massive improvements to the testsuite |
| - dpf tool for handling l3 remapping on gen7 (Ben) |
| - robustify against wc gtt mappings (Chris) |
| - improvements to the reg_dumper and register read/write tools |
| - haswell support |
| |
| Release 1.2 (2012-02-09) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| - intel_audio_dump improvements (Wu Fengguang) |
| - buildsystem improvements (Gaetan Nadon) |
| - solaris support (Alan Coopersmith) |
| - massive refactoring of testcases and rendercpy extraction |
| - new tests |
| - fixed up intel_reg_read/write for platforms needing forcewake (needs a |
| kernel patch which from 3.3 to work on ivb - Ben Widawsky) |
| |
| Release 1.1 (2011-12-24) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Improved testsuite, usable for kernel regression testing! |
| |
| Release 1.0 (2009-04-27) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Initial release: |
| - miscellaneous userland tools that don't really fit into the 2D driver tree |
| - standalone regression tests for the DRM (make check) |
| - microbenchmarks of the DRM for kernel performance regression testing |
