1Mesa 7.7 Release Notes / 21 December 2009 2========================================= 3 4Mesa 7.7 is a new development release. People who are concerned with 5stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait 6for Mesa 7.7.1. 7 8Mesa 7.7 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 395c9516edf1ad54b0934d8db15557bf MesaLib-7.7.tar.gz 21 e3fa64a1508bc23dd9de9dd2cea7cfb1 MesaLib-7.7.tar.bz2 22 e54903eb5e49c3969821fa16b32da245 MesaLib-7.7.zip 23 53b5b6f78e55de170d43c98cb6aaab7e MesaDemos-7.7.tar.gz 24 6fd616b27b9826d0faa23e08e05d9435 MesaDemos-7.7.tar.bz2 25 240fe06159ad73d5e22c27033b66c80a MesaDemos-7.7.zip 26 9fe11a904b2a9d8cd06cc52bc330b716 MesaGLUT-7.7.tar.gz 27 e8dceed05a59a2d3c2619d7d734587e3 MesaGLUT-7.7.tar.bz2 28 96af041d435349ee23ead4667ec36363 MesaGLUT-7.7.zip 29 30New features 31------------ 32 33- VMware "SVGA" Gallium driver. This is a Gallium3D driver which 34 targets the VMware virtual graphics device. It allows Linux OpenGL 35 guest applications to utilize the 3D graphics hardware of the host 36 operating system. 37- GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex (supported in Intel i965 and 38 software drivers) 39- GL_ARB_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers) 40- GL_NV_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers) 41- GL_ARB_provoking_vertex (same as GL_EXT_provoking_vertex) 42- Wavefront .obj file loader/viewer demo (progs/demos/objviewer) 43 44Bug fixes 45--------- 46 47- Many assorted i965 driver fixes. 48- Many r300-gallium driver fixes; this driver is now considered 49 unstable-quality instead of experimental-quality. 50 51Changes 52------- 53 54- New Mesa texture/surface format infrastructure 55- Removed some unused Mesa device driver hooks 56
