<H1>Mesa 7.12 Release Notes / (release date TBD)</H1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Mesa 7.12 is a new development release.
|
|
|
|
People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
|
|
|
|
with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.12.1.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Mesa 7.12 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.

|
|

<h2>Changes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>Removed all DRI drivers that did not support DRI2. Specifically,
|
|
|
|
i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome were
|
|
|
|
removed.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Removed support for BeOS.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Removed the obsolete (and unmaintained) Windows "gldirect" and
|
|
|
|
"ICD" drivers.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Removed the linux-fbdev software driver.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Removed all remnants of paletted texture support. As required by
|
|
|
|
desktop OpenGL, <tt>GL_COLOR_INDEX</tt> data can still be uploaded
|
|
|
|
to a color (e.g., RGBA) texture. However, the data cannot be stored
|
|
|
|
internally as color-index.</li>
|
2011-09-22 01:54:53 +01:00
|
|
|
<li>Removed support for GL_APPLE_client_storage extension.
|
2011-10-20 23:10:05 +01:00
|
|
|
<li>Removed the classic Mesa r300 and r600 drivers, which are superseded
|
|
|
|
by the gallium drivers for this hardware.
