Mesa 9.0 Release Notes / October 8, 2012
2
========================================
4
Mesa 9.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
5
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
8
Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by
9
glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
10
glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being
11
used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
12
3.1. OpenGL 3.1 is **only** available if requested at context creation
13
because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.

29
- Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver
30
- Added new Gallium3D - radeonsi driver

- Added OpenCL state tracker Clover
32
- Completed VDPAU state tracker (video decoding support is currently
33
limited to MPEG1 and MPEG2)
34
- GL_ARB_base_instance
35
- GL_ARB_blend_func_extended
37
- GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation. This
38
extension is always enabled in all drivers.
39
- GL_ARB_shader_bit_encoding
40
- GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object
42
- GL_ARB_transform_feedback3
43
- GL_ARB_transform_feedback_instanced
44
- GL_ARB_uniform_buffer_object
45
- GL_EXT_unpack_subimage for ES 2.0
46
- GL_EXT_read_format_bgra for ES 1.1 and 2.0
47
- GL_EXT_texture_rg for ES 2.x
48

49
- GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness
50
- EGL_KHR_create_context
51
- EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the

EGL_KHR_surfaceless_{gles1,gles2,opengl} extensions that were never
54
- EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness
59
TBD -- This list is likely incomplete.
64

65
removed. The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake
67

68

69
- libGLU has been moved into its own repository, found at
