10 <h1>Mesa 9.0 Release Notes / October 8th, 2012</h1>
13 Mesa 9.0 is a new development release.
14 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
15 with a previous release or wait for Mesa 9.0.1.
18 Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by
19 glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
20 glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
21 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.1. OpenGL
22 3.1 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation
23 because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.

61 <li>GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness</li>
62 <li>EGL_KHR_create_context</li>
63 <li>EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the

66 <li>EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness</li>
72 <p>TBD -- This list is likely incomplete.</p>
79 The legacy/static Makefile system (ex: 'make linux-dri') has been removed.
81 The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake and SCons.
83 <li>Removed support for GL_ARB_shadow_ambient extension</li>
84 <li>Removed Gallium3D - nvfx driver (use nv30 instead)</li>
86 libGLU has been moved into its own repository, found at <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/</a>
