| 1 | Mesa 7.1 Release Notes / August 26, 2008
|

| 2 | ========================================
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 4 | Mesa 7.1 is a new development release. There have been many internal
|
|---|
| 5 | code changes since Mesa 7.0.x. It should be relatively stable, but those
|
|---|
| 6 | who are especially concerned about stability should wait for Mesa 7.2 or
|
|---|
| 7 | use Mesa 7.0.4 (the previous stable release).
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager. The
|
|---|
| 10 | master branch of git uses GEM.
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.1

|

| 29 | New features
|
|---|
| 30 | ------------
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | - autoconf-based configuration (and clean-up of Makefiles)
|
|---|
| 33 | - Assorted DRI driver enhancements
|
|---|
| 34 | - Reduced dependencies between X server and Mesa
|
|---|
| 35 | - GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for Xlib driver
|
|---|
| 36 | - Support for the GL shading language with i965 driver (implemented by
|
|---|
| 37 | Intel)
|
|---|
| 38 | - ATI R500 series support (Radeon X1300–X1950) in r300 DRI driver
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | Bug fixes
|
|---|
| 41 | ---------
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | - Numerous GLSL fixes
|
|---|
| 44 | - Fixed some error code/detection bugs in the GLSL-related API
|
|---|
| 45 | functions
|
|---|
| 46 | - Lots of DRI driver fixes.
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | To Do (someday) items
|
|---|
| 49 | ---------------------
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | - Remove the MEMCPY() and \_mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use
|
|---|
| 52 | memcpy(). Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc. The wrappers
|
|---|
| 53 | were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we have
|
|---|
| 54 | valgrind. Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
|
|---|
| 55 | - Switch to freeglut
|
|---|
| 56 | - Fix linux-glide target/driver.
|
|---|
| 57 | - Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
