| <h1>Mesa 7.7 Release Notes / 21 December 2009</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Mesa 7.7 is a new development release. |
| People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick |
| with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.7.1. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Mesa 7.7 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by |
| glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. |
| Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| See the <a href="../install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites |
| for DRI hardware acceleration. |
| </p> |

| <h2>New features</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>VMware "SVGA" Gallium driver. This is a Gallium3D driver which targets the |
| VMware virtual graphics device. It allows Linux OpenGL guest applications |
| to utilize the 3D graphics hardware of the host operating system. |
| <li>GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex (supported in Intel i965 and software drivers)</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)</li> |
| <li>GL_NV_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_provoking_vertex (same as GL_EXT_provoking_vertex)</li> |
| <li>Wavefront .obj file loader/viewer demo (progs/demos/objviewer) |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Bug fixes</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Many assorted i965 driver fixes. |
| <li>Many r300-gallium driver fixes; this driver is now considered unstable-quality instead of experimental-quality. |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Changes</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>New Mesa texture/surface format infrastructure |
| <li>Removed some unused Mesa device driver hooks |
| </ul> |
