<H1>Mesa 7.1 Release Notes / August 26, 2008</H1>
2007-05-14 21:40:59 +01:00
<p>
Mesa 7.1 is a new development release.
2008-05-27 19:51:10 +01:00
There have been many internal code changes since Mesa 7.0.x.
It should be relatively stable, but those who are especially concerned about
2008-08-26 22:58:42 +01:00
stability should wait for Mesa 7.2 or use Mesa 7.0.4 (the previous stable
release).
</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

2008-08-26 22:58:42 +01:00
<li>ATI R500 series support (Radeon X1300&#8211;X1950) in r300 DRI driver
2007-05-14 21:40:59 +01:00
</ul>

<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
<ul>

<li>Numerous GLSL fixes
2008-07-04 17:05:39 +01:00
<li>Fixed some error code/detection bugs in the GLSL-related API functions
2008-08-26 22:58:42 +01:00

2008-07-04 17:05:39 +01:00
</ul>
2007-05-14 21:40:59 +01:00
<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
<ul>
2007-06-12 22:16:21 +01:00
<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...
2007-05-14 21:40:59 +01:00
<li>Switch to freeglut
<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
</ul>
