Mesa 9.2 Release Notes / (August 27, 2013)
==========================================

Mesa 9.2 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
for Mesa 9.2.1.

Mesa 9.2 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by
glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being
used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
3.1. OpenGL 3.1 is **only** available if requested at context creation
because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.

New features
------------

Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers.

-  GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack in all drivers that support GLSL
   1.30.
-  GL_ARB_texture_buffer_range
-  GL_ARB_texture_multisample
-  GL_ARB_texture_storage_multisample
-  GL_ARB_texture_query_lod
-  GL_ARB_texture_storage on radeon, r200, and nouveau
-  GL_EXT_discard_framebuffer in all OpenGL ES (all versions) drivers
-  GL_EXT_framebuffer_multisample_blit_scaled on i965
-  Added new freedreno gallium driver
-  OSMesa interface for gallium llvmpipe/softpipe drivers
-  Gallium Heads-Up Display (HUD) feature for performance monitoring
-  Added support for UVD (2.2 and 3.0) video decoding on r600g and
   radeonsi through VDPAU (requires Kernel 3.10 or later)

Bug fixes

Changes
-------

-  Removed d3d1x state tracker (unused, unmaintained and broken)
-  Removed GL_EXT_clip_volume_hint because no driver had enabled it
   since 2007.
-  Removed GL_MESA_resize_buffers because it was only really implemented
   by the (unsupported) GDI driver.
-  GL_EXT_separate_shader_objects has been removed from all Gallium
   drivers, because it disallows a critical GLSL shader optimization.
   GL_ARB_separate_shader_objects doesn't have this issue.
-  i965 Gen6+ requires Kernel 3.6 or later. (92d2f5a)
