| <h1>Mesa 7.1 Release Notes / August 26, 2008</h1> | |
| <p> | |
| 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). | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager. | |
| The master branch of git uses GEM. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.1 | |
| </p> | |

| <h2>New features</h2> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>autoconf-based configuration (and clean-up of Makefiles) | |
| <li>Assorted DRI driver enhancements | |
| <li>Reduced dependencies between X server and Mesa | |
| <li>GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for Xlib driver | |
| <li>Support for the GL shading language with i965 driver (implemented by Intel) | |
| <li>ATI R500 series support (Radeon X1300–X1950) in r300 DRI driver | |
| </ul> | |
| <h2>Bug fixes</h2> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Numerous GLSL fixes | |
| <li>Fixed some error code/detection bugs in the GLSL-related API functions | |
| <li>Lots of DRI driver fixes. | |
| </ul> | |
| <h2>To Do (someday) items</h2> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>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... | |
| <li>Switch to freeglut | |
| <li>Fix linux-glide target/driver. | |
| <li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs. | |
| </ul> | |
