Mesa 8.0 Release Notes / February 9, 2012
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
Mesa 8.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
|
|
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
|
|
for Mesa 8.0.1.
|
|
|
|
Mesa 8.0 implements the OpenGL 3.0 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 3.0.
|
|
|
|
See the :doc:`Compiling/Installing page <../install>` for
|
|
prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.

Bug fixes

Changes
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- Removed all DRI drivers that did not support DRI2. Specifically,
|
|
i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome were
|
|
removed.
|
|
- Removed support for BeOS.
|
|
- Removed the obsolete (and unmaintained) Windows "gldirect" and "ICD"
|
|
drivers.
|
|
- Removed the linux-fbdev software driver.
|
|
- Removed all remnants of paletted texture support. As required by
|
|
desktop OpenGL, ``GL_COLOR_INDEX`` data can still be uploaded to a
|
|
color (e.g., RGBA) texture. However, the data cannot be stored
|
|
internally as color-index.
|
|
- Removed support for GL_APPLE_client_storage extension.
|
|
- Removed the classic Mesa r300 and r600 drivers, which are superseded
|
|
by the gallium drivers for this hardware.
|
|
- Removed the dead Gallium i965, cell and failover drivers, which were
|
|
either broken and with nobody in sight to fix the situation or
|
|
deprecated.
