13 <H1>Mesa 7.12 Release Notes / (release date TBD)</H1>
16 Mesa 7.12 is a new development release.
17 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
18 with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.12.1.
21 Mesa 7.12 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
22 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
23 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
26 See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
27 for DRI hardware acceleration.
31 <h2>MD5 checksums</h2>
39 <li>GL_ARB_ES2_compatibility (r300g, r600g)
40 <li>GL_ARB_depth_buffer_float (r600g)
41 <li>GL_ARB_vertex_type_2_10_10_10_rev (r600g)
42 <li>GL_ARB_texture_storage (gallium drivers and swrast)
43 <li>GL_EXT_packed_float (i965)
44 <li>GL_EXT_texture_array (r600g, i965)
45 <li>GL_EXT_texture_shared_exponent (i965)
46 <li>GL_NV_fog_distance (all gallium drivers, nouveau classic)
47 <li>GL_NV_primitive_restart (r600g)
48 <li>GL_OES_EGL_image_external (gallium drivers)
49 <li>Many updates to the VMware svga Gallium driver
60 <li>Removed all DRI drivers that did not support DRI2. Specifically,
61 i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome were
63 <li>Removed support for BeOS.</li>
64 <li>Removed the obsolete (and unmaintained) Windows "gldirect" and
66 <li>Removed the linux-fbdev software driver.</li>
67 <li>Removed all remnants of paletted texture support. As required by
68 desktop OpenGL, <tt>GL_COLOR_INDEX</tt> data can still be uploaded
69 to a color (e.g., RGBA) texture. However, the data cannot be stored
70 internally as color-index.</li>
71 <li>Removed support for GL_APPLE_client_storage extension.
72 <li>Removed the classic Mesa r300 and r600 drivers, which are superseded
73 by the gallium drivers for this hardware.
