OpenGL 223.1 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation 23because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported. 24</p> 25 26 27<h2>MD5 checksums</h2> 28<pre> 29be4cd34c6599a7cb9d254b05c48bdb1f MesaLib-9.0.tar.gz 3060e557ce407be3732711da484ab3db6c MesaLib-9.0.tar.bz2 3116b128544cd3f7e237927bb9f8aab7ce MesaLib-9.0.zip 32</pre> 33 34 35<h2>New features</h2> 36 37<p> 38Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers. 39</p> 40 41<ul> 42<li>Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver</li> 43<li>Added new Gallium3D - radeonsi driver</li> 44<li>Added OpenCL state tracker Clover</li> 45<li>Completed VDPAU state tracker (video decoding support is currently limited to MPEG1 and MPEG2)</li> 46<li>GL_ARB_base_instance</li> 47<li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended</li> 48<li>GL_ARB_debug_output</li> 49<li>GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation.
