1 Release 1.6 (2014-XX-YY)
2 ------------------------
4 - Changes to support Broadwell in the test suite. (Ben, Damien, et al.)
6 - Updated (now working again!) Android support from Oscar Mateo.
8 Release 1.5 (2013-11-06)
9 ------------------------
11 - Some polishing of the test infrastructure, for details see:
13 http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/09/more-drmi915-testsuite-infrastructure.html
15 - Haswell support for the DPF tool (tools/intel_l3_parity) and other
18 - Stereo/3D support in testdisplay (Damien).
20 - Support for gen7 gpu perf counters in tools/intel_perf_counters (Kenneth).
22 - Improvements to the VBT decoder (Jani).
24 - New tool to read legacy VGA registers (Ville).
26 - New helpers in the test library to help deal with debugfs files and the new
27 display pipe CRC support (Damien).
29 - Introduction of a proper naming convention for all the testcases, see
30 tests/NAMING-CONVENTION.
32 - As usual tons of new testcases and improvements and bugfixes to existing ones.
34 - The testsuite framework itself has gained some regression tests which can be
35 run at compile-time with "make check".
37 - New helpers for the drop_cache kernel interface and use drop_caches(RETIRE) to
38 really make sure the gpu is idle in testcases (Oscar Mateo).
40 Release 1.4 (2013-09-16)
41 ------------------------
43 - Integration of the gen4+ assembler (Damien).
45 - Start of a new performance analysis tool from Chris Wilson with front-ends for
46 both X11 and plain kms. This uses the perf subsystem and the gpu performance
47 counter kernel patches from Chris.
49 - New register dumper quick_dump from Ben, with lots of work from Damien. This
50 will superseed intel_reg_dumper for newer platforms (which are not yet
51 released) since it will allow us to automatically generate register dumps from
52 the internal xml register specifications.
54 - Tools to access the pletoria of new indirect register access functions on
57 - Framebuffer contents dumper to debug some of the nastier corruption issues.
58 The advantage here is that this bypasses any userspace drivers and so avoids
59 that the corruptions get magically fixed when taking an X screenshot.
61 - Tons of new testcases. Including subtests we are now at roughly 450 tests!
63 - Improvements to the test framework infrastructure. See
64 http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/08/recent-drmi915-testsuite-improvements.html
67 Release 1.3 (2012-08-27)
68 ------------------------
70 - massive improvements to the testsuite
71 - dpf tool for handling l3 remapping on gen7 (Ben)
72 - robustify against wc gtt mappings (Chris)
73 - improvements to the reg_dumper and register read/write tools
76 Release 1.2 (2012-02-09)
77 ------------------------
79 - intel_audio_dump improvements (Wu Fengguang)
80 - buildsystem improvements (Gaetan Nadon)
81 - solaris support (Alan Coopersmith)
82 - massive refactoring of testcases and rendercpy extraction
84 - fixed up intel_reg_read/write for platforms needing forcewake (needs a
85 kernel patch which from 3.3 to work on ivb - Ben Widawsky)
87 Release 1.1 (2011-12-24)
88 ------------------------
90 Improved testsuite, usable for kernel regression testing!
92 Release 1.0 (2009-04-27)
93 ------------------------
96 - miscellaneous userland tools that don't really fit into the 2D driver tree
97 - standalone regression tests for the DRM (make check)
98 - microbenchmarks of the DRM for kernel performance regression testing
