Mesa 7.9 Release Notes / October 4, 2010
========================================
Mesa 7.9 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
for Mesa 7.9.1.
Mesa 7.9 implements the OpenGL 2.1 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 2.1.
See the :doc:`Compiling/Installing page <../install>` for
prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.

New features
------------
- New, improved GLSL compiler written by Intel. See the :doc:`Shading
Language <../shading>` page for more information.
- New, very experimental Gallium driver for R600-R700 Radeons.
- Support for AMD Evergreen-based Radeons (HD 5xxx)
- GL_EXT_timer_query extension (i965 driver and softpipe only)
- GL_EXT_framebuffer_multisample extension (intel drivers, MAX_SAMPLES
= 1)
- GL_ARB_texture_swizzle extension (alias of GL_EXT_texture_swizzle)
- GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex, GL_ARB_fragment_program_shadow,
GL_ARB_window_pos, GL_EXT_gpu_program_parameters,
GL_ATI_texture_env_combine3, GL_MESA_pack_invert, and
GL_OES_EGL_image extensions in Gallium drivers
- GL_ARB_depth_clamp and GL_NV_depth_clamp extensions (in nv50 and r600
Gallium drivers)
- GL_ARB_half_float_vertex extension (in nvfx, r300, r600, softpipe,
and llvmpipe Gallium drivers)
- GL_EXT_draw_buffers2 (in nv50, r600, softpipe, and llvmpipe Gallium
drivers)
- GL_EXT_texture_swizzle (in nvfx, r300, r600, softpipe, and llvmpipe
Gallium drivers)
- GL_ATI_texture_mirror_once (in nvfx, nv50, r300, r600, softpipe, and
llvmpipe Gallium drivers)
- GL_NV_conditional_render (in r300 Gallium driver)
- Initial "signs of life" support for Sandybridge hardware in i965 DRI
driver.
Bug fixes
---------
This list is likely incomplete.
- Massive improvements to the Gallium driver for R300-R500 Radeons;
this driver is now considered stable for use as a DRI (OpenGL)
driver.
