| 2 | ======================================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Mesa 9.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with |
| 5 | stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait |
| 6 | for Mesa 9.0.1. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by |
| 9 | glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) / |
| 10 | glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being |
| 11 | used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL |
| 12 | 3.1. OpenGL 3.1 is **only** available if requested at context creation |
| 13 | because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported. |

| 24 | New features |
| 25 | ------------ |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | - Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver |
| 30 | - Added new Gallium3D - radeonsi driver |
| 31 | - Added OpenCL state tracker Clover |
| 32 | - Completed VDPAU state tracker (video decoding support is currently |
| 33 | limited to MPEG1 and MPEG2) |
| 34 | - GL_ARB_base_instance |
| 35 | - GL_ARB_blend_func_extended |
| 36 | - GL_ARB_debug_output |
| 37 | - GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation. This |
| 38 | extension is always enabled in all drivers. |
| 39 | - GL_ARB_shader_bit_encoding |
| 40 | - GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object |
| 41 | - GL_ARB_timer_query |
| 42 | - GL_ARB_transform_feedback3 |
| 43 | - GL_ARB_transform_feedback_instanced |
| 44 | - GL_ARB_uniform_buffer_object |
| 45 | - GL_EXT_unpack_subimage for ES 2.0 |
| 46 | - GL_EXT_read_format_bgra for ES 1.1 and 2.0 |
| 47 | - GL_EXT_texture_rg for ES 2.x |
| 48 | - GL_NV_read_buffer for ES 2.0 |
| 49 | - GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness |
| 50 | - EGL_KHR_create_context |
| 51 | - EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the |
| 52 | EGL_KHR_surfaceless_{gles1,gles2,opengl} extensions that were never |
| 53 | approved by Khronos. |
| 54 | - EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Bug fixes |
| 57 | --------- |

| 59 | TBD -- This list is likely incomplete. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | Changes |
| 62 | ------- |
| 63 | |
| 64 | - The legacy/static Makefile system (ex: 'make linux-dri') has been |
| 65 | removed. The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake |
| 66 | and SCons. |
| 67 | - Removed support for GL_ARB_shadow_ambient extension |
| 68 | - Removed Gallium3D - nvfx driver (use nv30 instead) |
| 69 | - libGLU has been moved into its own repository, found at |
| 70 | https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/ |
