Mesa 7.1 Release Notes / August 26, 2008
|
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mesa 7.1 is a new development release. There have been many internal
|
|
|
code changes since Mesa 7.0.x. It should be relatively stable, but those
|
|
|
who are especially concerned about stability should wait for Mesa 7.2 or
|
|
|
use Mesa 7.0.4 (the previous stable release).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager. The
|
|
|
master branch of git uses GEM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.1

New features
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
- autoconf-based configuration (and clean-up of Makefiles)
|
|
|
- Assorted DRI driver enhancements
|
|
|
- Reduced dependencies between X server and Mesa
|
|
|
- GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for Xlib driver
|
|
|
- Support for the GL shading language with i965 driver (implemented by
|
|
|
Intel)
|
|
|
- ATI R500 series support (Radeon X1300–X1950) in r300 DRI driver
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Numerous GLSL fixes
|
|
|
- Fixed some error code/detection bugs in the GLSL-related API
|
|
|
functions
|
|
|
- Lots of DRI driver fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To Do (someday) items
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Remove the MEMCPY() and \_mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use
|
|
|
memcpy(). Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc. The wrappers
|
|
|
were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we have
|
|
|
valgrind. Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
|
|
|
- Switch to freeglut
|
|
|
- Fix linux-glide target/driver.
|
|
|
- Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
