<H1>Mesa 6.5.1 Release Notes</H1>
|

|
|

|
|
|
<H2>Introduction</H2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Mesa 6.5.1 is a 6.5 follow-on development release mostly consisting of
|
|
<a href="versions.html#6.5.1">bug fixes</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>New Features</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Intel i965 "broadwater" DRI driver
|
|
|
|
<li>GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object - allows encapsulation of a set of vertex
|
|
arrays in an object.
|
|
|
|
<li>GL_EXT_texture_sRGB - non-linearly mapped texture formats
|
|
|
|
<li>GL_EXT_gpu_program_parameters - addes a few new functions for setting
|
|
multiple vertex/fragment program parameters with one call.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Internal code changes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A number of Mesa program-related structs were renamed.
|
|
For example <i>struct vertex_program</i> is now <i>struct gl_vertex_program</i>.
|
|
All the effected drivers have been updated.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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()).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Switch to freeglut
|
|
<li>Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
|
|
<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
|
|
<li>Fix lambda calculation for frag progs.
|
|
</ul>
