| Mesa 9.0 Release Notes / October 8, 2012 |
| ======================================== |
| |
| Mesa 9.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with |
| stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait |
| for Mesa 9.0.1. |
| |
| Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by |
| glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) / |
| glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being |
| used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL |
| 3.1. OpenGL 3.1 is **only** available if requested at context creation |
| because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported. |

| New features |
| ------------ |
| |
| Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers. |
| |
| - Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver |
| - Added new Gallium3D - radeonsi driver |
| - Added OpenCL state tracker Clover |
| - Completed VDPAU state tracker (video decoding support is currently |
| limited to MPEG1 and MPEG2) |
| - GL_ARB_base_instance |
| - GL_ARB_blend_func_extended |
| - GL_ARB_debug_output |
| - GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation. This |
| extension is always enabled in all drivers. |
| - GL_ARB_shader_bit_encoding |
| - GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object |
| - GL_ARB_timer_query |
| - GL_ARB_transform_feedback3 |
| - GL_ARB_transform_feedback_instanced |
| - GL_ARB_uniform_buffer_object |
| - GL_EXT_unpack_subimage for ES 2.0 |
| - GL_EXT_read_format_bgra for ES 1.1 and 2.0 |
| - GL_EXT_texture_rg for ES 2.x |
| - GL_NV_read_buffer for ES 2.0 |
| - GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness |
| - EGL_KHR_create_context |
| - EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the |
| EGL_KHR_surfaceless_{gles1,gles2,opengl} extensions that were never |
| approved by Khronos. |
| - EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness |
| |
| Bug fixes |
| --------- |
| |
| TBD -- This list is likely incomplete. |
| |
| Changes |
| ------- |
| |
| - The legacy/static Makefile system (ex: 'make linux-dri') has been |
| removed. The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake |
| and SCons. |
| - Removed support for GL_ARB_shadow_ambient extension |
| - Removed Gallium3D - nvfx driver (use nv30 instead) |
| - libGLU has been moved into its own repository, found at |
| https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/ |
