| <H1>Mesa 7.2 Release Notes / 20 September 2008</H1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Mesa 7.2 is a stable release fixing bugs found in 7.1, which was a |
| new development release. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Mesa 7.2 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. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager. |
| The master branch of git uses GEM. |
| The prototype DRI2 code that was in 7.1 has also been removed. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.2 |
| </p> |

| <h2>New features</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>i965 driver: added support for G41 chipset (Intel) |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Bug fixes</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Fixed display list bug involving primitives split across lists (bug 17564) |
| <li>Fixed some issues with glBindAttribLocation() |
| <li>Fixed crash in _tnl_InvalidateState() found with Amira (bug 15834) |
| <li>Assorted bug fixes for Ming build |
| <li>Fixed some vertex/pixel buffer object reference counting bugs |
| <li>Fixed depth/stencil bug in i915/945 driver |
| <li>Fixed some shader flow control bugs in i965 driver |
| <li>Fixed a few tdfx driver bugs which prevented driver from working |
| <li>Fixed multisample enable/disable bug |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Changes</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Updated SGI header files with new license terms. |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h2>To Do (someday) items</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <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... |
| <li>Switch to freeglut |
| <li>Fix linux-glide target/driver. |
| <li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs. |
| </ul> |
| |
