OpenGL 293.1 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation 30because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported. 31</p> 32 33 34<h2>MD5 checksums</h2> 35<pre> 36be4cd34c6599a7cb9d254b05c48bdb1f MesaLib-9.0.tar.gz 3760e557ce407be3732711da484ab3db6c MesaLib-9.0.tar.bz2 3816b128544cd3f7e237927bb9f8aab7ce MesaLib-9.0.zip 39</pre> 40 41 42<h2>New features</h2> 43 44<p> 45Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers. 46</p> 47 48<ul> 49<li>Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver</li> 50<li>Added new Gallium3D - radeonsi driver</li> 51<li>Added OpenCL state tracker Clover</li> 52<li>Completed VDPAU state tracker (video decoding support is currently limited to MPEG1 and MPEG2)</li> 53<li>GL_ARB_base_instance</li> 54<li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended</li> 55<li>GL_ARB_debug_output</li> 56<li>GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation.
