19<p>
20Mesa 7.1 is a new development release.
Brian Paul5173fc62008-05-27 12:51:10 -060021There have been many internal code changes since Mesa 7.0.x.
22It should be relatively stable, but those who are especially concerned about
Brian Paul17e9bbd2008-08-26 15:58:42 -060023stability should wait for Mesa 7.2 or use Mesa 7.0.4 (the previous stable
24release).
25</p>
Andreas Bolldf2be222012-06-12 09:05:22 +020026<p>
Brian Paul17e9bbd2008-08-26 15:58:42 -060027Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
28The master branch of git uses GEM.

30<p>
31DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.1

Brian347bb542007-05-14 14:40:59 -060068<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
69<ul>
Briand70fa022007-06-12 15:16:21 -060070<li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
71Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
72The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
73have valgrind. Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
Brian347bb542007-05-14 14:40:59 -060074<li>Switch to freeglut
75<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
76<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
