Mesa 8.0 Release Notes / (release date TBD)

+ +

+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 Compiling/Installing page 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Removed the classic Mesa r300 and r600 drivers, which are superseded + by the gallium drivers for this hardware.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.
