17<h1>Mesa 7.2 Release Notes / 20 September 2008</h1>
18
19<p>
20Mesa 7.2 is a stable release fixing bugs found in 7.1, which was a
21new development release.
22</p>
23<p>
24Mesa 7.2 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
25glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
26Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
27</p>
28<p>
29Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
30The master branch of git uses GEM.
31The prototype DRI2 code that was in 7.1 has also been removed.
32</p>
33<p>
34DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.2

52<h2>New features</h2>
53<ul>
54<li>i965 driver: added support for G41 chipset (Intel)
55</ul>

57
58<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
59<ul>
60<li>Fixed display list bug involving primitives split across lists (bug 17564)
61<li>Fixed some issues with glBindAttribLocation()
62<li>Fixed crash in _tnl_InvalidateState() found with Amira (bug 15834)
63<li>Assorted bug fixes for Ming build
64<li>Fixed some vertex/pixel buffer object reference counting bugs
65<li>Fixed depth/stencil bug in i915/945 driver
66<li>Fixed some shader flow control bugs in i965 driver
67<li>Fixed a few tdfx driver bugs which prevented driver from working
68<li>Fixed multisample enable/disable bug
69</ul>
70
71<h2>Changes</h2>
72<ul>
73<li>Updated SGI header files with new license terms.
74</ul>
75
76
77
78<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
79<ul>
80<li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
81Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
82The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
83have valgrind.  Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
84<li>Switch to freeglut
85<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
86<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
87</ul>
