| 4 | Mesa 7.7 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 7.7.1.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | Mesa 7.7 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 | - VMware "SVGA" Gallium driver. This is a Gallium3D driver which
|
|---|
| 34 | targets the VMware virtual graphics device. It allows Linux OpenGL
|
|---|
| 35 | guest applications to utilize the 3D graphics hardware of the host
|
|---|
| 36 | operating system.
|
|---|
| 37 | - GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex (supported in Intel i965 and
|
|---|
| 38 | software drivers)
|
|---|
| 39 | - GL_ARB_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)
|
|---|
| 40 | - GL_NV_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)
|
|---|
| 41 | - GL_ARB_provoking_vertex (same as GL_EXT_provoking_vertex)
|
|---|
| 42 | - Wavefront .obj file loader/viewer demo (progs/demos/objviewer)
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | Bug fixes
|
|---|
| 45 | ---------
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | - Many assorted i965 driver fixes.
|
|---|
| 48 | - Many r300-gallium driver fixes; this driver is now considered
|
|---|
| 49 | unstable-quality instead of experimental-quality.
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | Changes
|
|---|
| 52 | -------
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | - New Mesa texture/surface format infrastructure
|
|---|
| 55 | - Removed some unused Mesa device driver hooks
