Mesa 6.5.1 Release Notes

+ + + +

Introduction

+ +

+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. +Odd numbered versions (such as 6.5) designate new developmental releases. +Even numbered versions (such as 6.4) designate stable releases. +

+ +

+Mesa 6.5.1 is a 6.5 follow-on development release mostly consisting of +bug fixes (See the versions.html file) +

+ + +

New Features

+ +

Intel i965 "broadwater" DRI driver + +
GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object - allows encapsulation of a set of vertex + arrays in an object. + +
GL_EXT_texture_sRGB - non-linearly mapped texture formats + +
GL_EXT_gpu_program_parameters - addes a few new functions for setting + multiple vertex/fragment program parameters with one call. +

+ + +

Internal code changes

+ +

+A number of Mesa program-related structs were renamed. +For example struct vertex_program is now struct gl_vertex_program. +All the effected drivers have been updated. +

+ +

Ian Romanick updated the GL API dispatch code in a number of ways. +First, many old/unused extensions were removed. +Second, the static entrypoints for some extensions were removed. +This means GL function pointers will have to be used more often +(e.g. use glXGetProcAddressARB()). +

+ + +

To Do (someday) items

Switch to freeglut +
Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS +
Fix linux-glide target/driver. +
Fix lambda calculation for frag progs. +

+ + +
