11<H1>Mesa 7.1 Release Notes / August 26, 2008</H1>
12
13<p>
14Mesa 7.1 is a new development release.
15There have been many internal code changes since Mesa 7.0.x.
16It should be relatively stable, but those who are especially concerned about
17stability should wait for Mesa 7.2 or use Mesa 7.0.4 (the previous stable
18release).
19</p>
20</>
21Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
22The master branch of git uses GEM.
23</p>
24<p>
25DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.1

43<h2>New features</h2>
44<ul>
45<li>autoconf-based configuration (and clean-up of Makefiles)
46<li>Assorted DRI driver enhancements
47<li>Reduced dependencies between X server and Mesa
48<li>GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for Xlib driver
49<li>Support for the GL shading language with i965 driver (implemented by Intel)
50<li>ATI R500 series support (Radeon X1300&#8211;X1950) in r300 DRI driver
51</ul>
52
53
54<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
55<ul>
56<li>Numerous GLSL fixes
57<li>Fixed some error code/detection bugs in the GLSL-related API functions
58<li>Lots of DRI driver fixes.
59</ul>
60
61
62<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
63<ul>
64<li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
65Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
66The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
67have valgrind.  Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
68<li>Switch to freeglut
69<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
70<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
71</ul>
