People who are concerned with +stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait +for Mesa 9.0.1. + +Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by +glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) / +glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being +used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL +3.1. OpenGL 3.1 is **only** available if requested at context creation +because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported. + +MD5 checksums +------------- + +:: + + be4cd34c6599a7cb9d254b05c48bdb1f MesaLib-9.0.tar.gz + 60e557ce407be3732711da484ab3db6c MesaLib-9.0.tar.bz2 + 16b128544cd3f7e237927bb9f8aab7ce MesaLib-9.0.zip + +New features +------------ + +Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers. + +- Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver +- Added new Gallium3D - radeonsi driver +- Added OpenCL state tracker Clover +- Completed VDPAU state tracker (video decoding support is currently + limited to MPEG1 and MPEG2) +- GL_ARB_base_instance +- GL_ARB_blend_func_extended +- GL_ARB_debug_output +- GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation. This + extension is always enabled in all drivers. +- GL_ARB_shader_bit_encoding +- GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object +- GL_ARB_timer_query +- GL_ARB_transform_feedback3 +- GL_ARB_transform_feedback_instanced +- GL_ARB_uniform_buffer_object +- GL_EXT_unpack_subimage for ES 2.0 +- GL_EXT_read_format_bgra for ES 1.1 and 2.0 +- GL_EXT_texture_rg for ES 2.x +- GL_NV_read_buffer for ES 2.0 +- GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness +- EGL_KHR_create_context +- EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the + EGL_KHR_surfaceless_{gles1,gles2,opengl} extensions that were never + approved by Khronos. +- EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness + +Bug fixes +--------- + +TBD -- This list is likely incomplete. + +Changes +------- + +- The legacy/static Makefile system (ex: 'make linux-dri') has been + removed. The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake + and SCons. +- Removed support for GL_ARB_shadow_ambient extension +- Removed Gallium3D - nvfx driver (use nv30 instead) +- libGLU has been moved into its own repository, found at + https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/ |
