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

| |
| <p> |
| Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers. |

| <li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_debug_output</li> |

| extension is always enabled in all drivers.</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_shader_bit_encoding</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object</li> |
| <li>GL_ARB_timer_query</li> |

| <li>GL_NV_read_buffer for ES 2.0</li> |
| <li>GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness</li> |
| <li>EGL_KHR_create_context</li> |
| <li>EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the |
| EGL_KHR_surfaceless_{gles1,gles2,opengl} extensions that were never approved |
| by Khronos.</li> |
| <li>EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness</li> |
| </ul> |

| <br> |
| The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake and SCons. |
| </li> |
| <li>Removed support for GL_ARB_shadow_ambient extension</li> |
| <li>Removed Gallium3D - nvfx driver (use nv30 instead)</li> |
| <li> |
| 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> |
