|

|
|---|
| 4 | Mesa 7.6 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
|
|---|
| 5 | stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
|
|---|
| 6 | for Mesa 7.6.1.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | Mesa 7.6 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
|
|---|
| 9 | glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
|
|---|
| 10 | Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
|

|
|---|
| 12 | See the :doc:`Compiling/Installing page <../install>` for
|
|---|
| 13 | prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.

| 30 | New features
|
|---|
| 31 | ------------
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | - OpenVG front-end (state tracker for Gallium). This was written by
|
|---|
| 34 | Zack Rusin at Tungsten Graphics.
|
|---|
| 35 | - GL_ARB_vertex_array_object and GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object
|
|---|
| 36 | extensions (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and
|
|---|
| 37 | software drivers)
|
|---|
| 38 | - GL_ARB_copy_buffer extension (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI
|
|---|
| 39 | drivers, and software drivers)
|
|---|
| 40 | - GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension (supported in Gallium drivers,
|
|---|
| 41 | Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)
|
|---|
| 42 | - GL_ARB_seamless_cube_map extension (supported in software drivers and
|
|---|
| 43 | i965 drivers)
|
|---|
| 44 | - GL_ARB_vertex_array_bgra (ARB synonym for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra)
|
|---|
| 45 | - GL_ARB_sync (supported in software drivers and Intel DRI drivers)
|
|---|
| 46 | - GL_EXT_provoking_vertex extension (supported in Gallium, i915, i965,
|
|---|
| 47 | and software drivers)
|
|---|
| 48 | - Rewritten radeon/r200/r300 driver using a buffer manager
|
|---|
| 49 | - radeon/r200/r300 GL_EXT_framebuffer_object support when used with
|
|---|
| 50 | kernel memory manager
|
|---|
| 51 | - radeon/r200/r300 support for GL_ARB_occlusion_query
|
|---|
| 52 | - r300 driver supports OpenGL 1.5
|
|---|
| 53 | - r300 driver support for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_EXT_texture_sRGB
|
|---|
| 54 | - i915/945 driver support for GL_ARB_point_sprite,
|
|---|
| 55 | GL_EXT_stencil_two_side and GL_ATI_separate_stencil extensions
|
|---|
| 56 | - Rewritten assembler for GL_ARB_vertex_program /
|
|---|
| 57 | GL_ARB_fragment_program.
|
|---|
| 58 | - Added configure --with-max-width=W, --with-max-height=H options to
|
|---|
| 59 | specify max framebuffer, viewport size.
|
|---|
| 60 | - Initial version of Gallium llvmpipe driver. This is a new driver
|
|---|
| 61 | based on LLVM which makes exensive use of run-time code generation.
|
|---|
| 62 | This is an "alpha" stage driver. See the
|
|---|
| 63 | src/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe/README file for more information.

|
|---|
| 66 | ---------
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | - i965 DRI driver fixes, including support for "unlimited" size
|
|---|
| 69 | constant buffers (GLSL uniforms)
|
