1Mesa 7.6 Release Notes, 28 September 2009 2========================================= 3 4Mesa 7.6 is a new development release. People who are concerned with 5stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait 6for Mesa 7.6.1. 7 8Mesa 7.6 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by 9glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. 10Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1. 11 12See the :doc:`Compiling/Installing page <../install>` for 13prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration. 14 15MD5 checksums 16------------- 17 18:: 19 20 5ffa7d7abf8973f57a1bc4f813e6dade MesaLib-7.6.tar.gz 21 8c75f90cd0303cfac9e4b6d54f6759ca MesaLib-7.6.tar.bz2 22 27fcfd69708599c978cb34ba5cd363e1 MesaLib-7.6.zip 23 e7befb3ae604f591806194a4da445628 MesaDemos-7.6.tar.gz 24 0ede7adf217951acd90dbe4551210c07 MesaDemos-7.6.tar.bz2 25 ed9298409cf6613bc0964525ca4afc8a MesaDemos-7.6.zip 26 666955668e44ff14acf7d15dc78407d3 MesaGLUT-7.6.tar.gz 27 b8b59706f827d18d1b784a0ff98b4dc2 MesaGLUT-7.6.tar.bz2 28 c49c19c2bbef4f3b7f1389974dff25f4 MesaGLUT-7.6.zip 29 30New features 31------------ 32 33- OpenVG front-end (state tracker for Gallium). This was written by 34 Zack Rusin at Tungsten Graphics. 35- GL_ARB_vertex_array_object and GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object 36 extensions (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and 37 software drivers) 38- GL_ARB_copy_buffer extension (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI 39 drivers, and software drivers) 40- GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension (supported in Gallium drivers, 41 Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers) 42- GL_ARB_seamless_cube_map extension (supported in software drivers and 43 i965 drivers) 44- GL_ARB_vertex_array_bgra (ARB synonym for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra) 45- GL_ARB_sync (supported in software drivers and Intel DRI drivers) 46- GL_EXT_provoking_vertex extension (supported in Gallium, i915, i965, 47 and software drivers) 48- Rewritten radeon/r200/r300 driver using a buffer manager 49- radeon/r200/r300 GL_EXT_framebuffer_object support when used with 50 kernel memory manager 51- radeon/r200/r300 support for GL_ARB_occlusion_query 52- r300 driver supports OpenGL 1.5 53- r300 driver support for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_EXT_texture_sRGB 54- i915/945 driver support for GL_ARB_point_sprite, 55 GL_EXT_stencil_two_side and GL_ATI_separate_stencil extensions 56- Rewritten assembler for GL_ARB_vertex_program / 57 GL_ARB_fragment_program. 58- Added configure --with-max-width=W, --with-max-height=H options to 59 specify max framebuffer, viewport size. 60- Initial version of Gallium llvmpipe driver. This is a new driver 61 based on LLVM which makes exensive use of run-time code generation. 62 This is an "alpha" stage driver. See the 63 src/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe/README file for more information. 64 65Bug fixes 66--------- 67 68- i965 DRI driver fixes, including support for "unlimited" size 69 constant buffers (GLSL uniforms) 70
