| <h1>Mesa 7.6 Release Notes, 28 September 2009</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Mesa 7.6 is a new development release. |
| People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick |
| with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.6.1. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Mesa 7.6 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by |
| glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. |
| Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| See the <a href="../install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites |
| for DRI hardware acceleration. |
| </p> |

| <h2>New features</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="../openvg.html">OpenVG</a> front-end (state tracker for Gallium). |
| This was written by Zack Rusin at Tungsten Graphics. |
| <li>GL_ARB_vertex_array_object and GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object extensions |
| (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_copy_buffer extension |
| (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension |
| (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_seamless_cube_map extension |
| (supported in software drivers and i965 drivers)</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_vertex_array_bgra (ARB synonym for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra)</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_sync (supported in software drivers and Intel DRI drivers)</li> |
| <li>GL_EXT_provoking_vertex extension (supported in Gallium, i915, i965, and software drivers) |
| <li>Rewritten radeon/r200/r300 driver using a buffer manager |
| <li>radeon/r200/r300 GL_EXT_framebuffer_object support when used with |
| kernel memory manager |
| <li>radeon/r200/r300 support for GL_ARB_occlusion_query</li> |
| <li>r300 driver supports OpenGL 1.5</li> |
| <li>r300 driver support for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_EXT_texture_sRGB |
| <li>i915/945 driver support for GL_ARB_point_sprite, GL_EXT_stencil_two_side |
| and GL_ATI_separate_stencil extensions |
| <li>Rewritten assembler for GL_ARB_vertex_program / |
| GL_ARB_fragment_program.</li> |
| <li>Added configure --with-max-width=W, --with-max-height=H options to specify |
| max framebuffer, viewport size. |
| <li>Initial version of Gallium llvmpipe driver. This is a new driver based |
| on LLVM which makes exensive use of run-time code generation. This is |
| an "alpha" stage driver. See the src/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe/README |
| file for more information. |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Bug fixes</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>i965 DRI driver fixes, including support for "unlimited" size constant |
| buffers (GLSL uniforms) |
| </ul> |
