| New features |
| ------------ |
| |
| - New DRI memory manager system. Currently used by the i915tex driver. |
| Other DRI drivers will be updated to use the new memory manager in |
| coming months. |
| |
| To use the new driver you'll need the most recent DRM library and |
| drivers (version 2.2 or later) and a recent xf86-video-intel driver |
| module from X.org. |
| |
| New features resulting from this work include: |
| |
| - EXT_framebuffer_objects, render to texture |
| - ARB_pixel_buffer_objects |
| - Accelerated CopyTexSubimage, DrawPixels, ReadPixels, CopyPixels |
| - Accelerated texture uploads from pixel buffer objects |
| - Potentially texturing directly from the pixel buffer object (zero |
| copy texturing). |
| |
| - New Intel i965 DRI driver |
| - New ``minstall`` script to replace normal install program |
| - Faster fragment program execution in software |
| - Added (or fixed) support for |
| `GLX_SGI_make_current_read <https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/SGI/GLX_SGI_make_current_read.txt>`__ |
| to the following drivers: |
| |
| - radeon |
| - savage |
| - mga |
| - tdfx |
| |
| - Added support for ARB_occlusion_query to the tdfx driver (Ian |
| Romanick). |
| |
| Bug fixes |
| --------- |
| |
| - fixed invalid memory read while rendering textured points (bug 8320) |
| - fixed problems with freebsd-dri configuration (bug 8344) |
| - Mesa's fake glxGetCurrentContext() wasn't thread-aware |
| - OPTION NV_position_invariant didn't work in NV vertex programs |
| - glDrawPixels into a user-created framebuffer object could crash Xlib |
| driver |
| - Line clipping was broken in some circumstances |
| - fragment.fogcoord register didn't always contain the correct value |
| - RGBA logicops didn't work reliably in some DRI drivers |
| - Fixed broken RGBA LogicOps in Intel DRI drivers |
| - Fixed some fragment program bugs in Intel i915 DRI driver |
| - Fixed glGetVertexAttribfvARB bug 8883 |
| - Implemented glGetUniform[fi]vARB() functions |
| - Fixed glDrawPixels(GL_COLOR_INDEX, GL_BITMAP) segfault (bug 9044) |
| - Fixed some gluBuild2DMipmaps() bugs (Greg McGarragh) |
| - Fixed broken "mgl" name mangling |
| - Indirect rending was broken for glMap\* functions (bug 8899) |
| |
| Internal code changes |
| --------------------- |
| |
| - The device driver functions ResizeBuffers and GetBufferSize have been |
| decprecated. |
| - OpenGL 2.0 and 2.1 support is nearly done. We need to do quite a bit |
| more testing of the shading language functions. |
| |
| To Do (someday) items |
| --------------------- |
| |
| - Switch to freeglut |
| - Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS |
| - Fix linux-glide target/driver. |
| - Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs. |
