Mesa 4.1 release notes
<month>, <day>, 2002
PLEASE READ!!!!
Introduction
------------
Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
Even numbered versions (such as 4.0) designate stable releases.
Odd numbered versions (such as 4.1) designate new developmental releases.
New Features in Mesa 4.1
------------------------
New extensions. Docs at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/
GL_NV_vertex_program
NVIDIA's vertex programming extension
GL_NV_vertex_program1_1
A few features built on top of GL_NV_vertex_program
GL_ARB_window_pos
This is the ARB-approved version of GL_MESA_window_pos
GL_ARB_depth_texture
This is the ARB-approved version of GL_SGIX_depth_texture.
It allows depth (Z buffer) data to be stored in textures.
This is used by GL_ARB_shadow
GL_ARB_shadow
Shadow mapping with depth textures.
This is the ARB-approved version of GL_SGIX_shadow.
GL_ARB_shadow_ambient
Allows one to specify the luminance of shadowed pixels.
This is the ARB-approved version of GL_SGIX_shadow_ambient.
GL_EXT_shadow_funcs
Extends the set of GL_ARB_shadow texture comparision functions to
include all eight of standard OpenGL dept-test functions.
GL_ARB_point_parameters
This is basically the same as GL_EXT_point_parameters.
GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar
Allows any texture combine stage to reference any texture source unit.
GL_NV_point_sprite
For rendering points as textured quads. Useful for particle effects.
GL_NV_texture_rectangle
Allows one to use textures with sizes that are not powers of two.
Note that mipmapping and several texture wrap modes are not allowed.
Device Driver Status
--------------------
A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
Here's the current status of all included drivers:
Driver Status
---------------------- ---------------------
XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.3
OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.3
FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3
SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3
Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3
Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.3
DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3
GGI implements OpenGL 1.3
BeOS needs updating (underway)
Allegro needs updating
D3D needs updating
DOS needs updating
Porting Information
-------------------
When moving from Mesa 4.0.x to Mesa 4.1 there are a number of things
you may have to update.
1. _mesa_create_context() changes. This function now takes a pointer to
a __GLimports object. The __GLimports structure contains function
pointers to system functions like fprintf(), malloc(), etc.
The _mesa_init_default_imports() function can be used to initialize
a __GLimports object. Most device drivers (like the DRI drivers)
should use this.
2. more to come...
XXX Things To Do Yet XXXX
-------------------------
Verify x86 code for normal transformation works with new 4-element normal
vector arrays. Pretty sure the SSE code is wrong.
Finish up NV_vertex_program support for evaluators. Vertex arrays seem
to work as of 4/21/2002.
Allow multiple points to be rendered into one sw_span.
improve point/line rendering speed.
_tnl_end() has flushing forced on.
readpixels from stencil/z should respect ctx->ReadBuffer
glVertexAttrib*NV(index>15) should cause an error.
isosurf with vertex program exhibits some missing triangles (probably
when recycling the vertex buffer for long prims).
Porting Info
------------
If you're porting a DRI or other driver from Mesa 4.0.x to Mesa 4.1 here
are some things to change:
1. ctx->Texture._ReallyEnabled is obsolete.
Since there are now 5 texture targets (1D, 2D, 3D, cube and rect) that
left room for only 6 units (6*5 < 32) in this field.
This field is being replaced by ctx->Texture._EnabledUnits which has one
bit per texture unit. If the bit k of _EnabledUnits is set, that means
ctx->Texture.Unit[k]._ReallyEnabled is non-zero. You'll have to look at
ctx->Texture.Unit[k]._ReallyEnabled to learn if the 1D, 2D, 3D, cube or
rect texture is enabled for unit k.
This also means that the constants TEXTURE1_*, TEXTURE2_*, etc are
obsolete.
The tokens TEXTURE0_* have been replaced as well (since there's no
significance to the "0" part:
old token new token
TEXTURE0_1D TEXTURE_1D_BIT
TEXTURE0_2D TEXTURE_2D_BIT
TEXTURE0_3D TEXTURE_3D_BIT
TEXTURE0_CUBE TEXTURE_CUBE_BIT
<none> TEXTURE_RECT_BIT
These tokens are only used for the ctx->Texture.Unit[i].Enabled and
ctx->Texture.Unit[i]._ReallyEnabled fields. Exactly 0 or 1 bit will
be set in _ReallyEnabled at any time!
Q: "What's the purpose of Unit[i].Enabled vs Unit[i]._ReallyEnabled?"
A: The user can enable GL_TEXTURE_1D, GL_TEXTURE_2D, etc for any
texure unit all at once (an unusual thing to do).
OpenGL defines priorities that basically say GL_TEXTURE_2D has
higher priority than GL_TEXTURE_1D, etc. Also, just because a
texture target is enabled by the user doesn't mean we'll actually
use that texture! If a texture object is incomplete (missing mip-
map levels, etc) it's as if texturing is disabled for that target.
The _ReallyEnabled field will have a bit set ONLY if the texture
target is enabled and complete. This spares the driver writer from
examining a _lot_ of GL state to determine which texture target is
to be used.
2. Tnl tokens changes
During the implementation of GL_NV_vertex_program some of the vertex
buffer code was changed. Specifically, the VERT_* bits defined in
tnl/t_context.h have been renamed to better match the conventions of
GL_NV_vertex_program. The old names are still present but obsolete.
Drivers should use the newer names.
For example: VERT_RGBA is now VERT_BIT_COLOR0 and
VERT_SPEC_RGB is now VERT_BIT_COLOR1.
