17<h1>Mesa 7.1 Release Notes / August 26, 2008</h1>
18
19<p>
20Mesa 7.1 is a new development release.
21There have been many internal code changes since Mesa 7.0.x.
22It should be relatively stable, but those who are especially concerned about
23stability should wait for Mesa 7.2 or use Mesa 7.0.4 (the previous stable
24release).
25</p>
26<p>
27Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
28The master branch of git uses GEM.
29</p>
30<p>
31DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.1

49<h2>New features</h2>
50<ul>
51<li>autoconf-based configuration (and clean-up of Makefiles)
52<li>Assorted DRI driver enhancements
53<li>Reduced dependencies between X server and Mesa
54<li>GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for Xlib driver
55<li>Support for the GL shading language with i965 driver (implemented by Intel)
56<li>ATI R500 series support (Radeon X1300&#8211;X1950) in r300 DRI driver
57</ul>
58
59
60<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
61<ul>
62<li>Numerous GLSL fixes
63<li>Fixed some error code/detection bugs in the GLSL-related API functions
64<li>Lots of DRI driver fixes.
65</ul>
66
67
68<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
69<ul>
70<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...
74<li>Switch to freeglut
75<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
76<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
77</ul>
