| Mesa 7.7 Release Notes / 21 December 2009 |
| ========================================= |
| |
| Mesa 7.7 is a new development release. People who are concerned with |
| stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait |
| for Mesa 7.7.1. |
| |
| Mesa 7.7 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 |
| ------------ |
| |
| - VMware "SVGA" Gallium driver. This is a Gallium3D driver which |
| targets the VMware virtual graphics device. It allows Linux OpenGL |
| guest applications to utilize the 3D graphics hardware of the host |
| operating system. |
| - GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex (supported in Intel i965 and |
| software drivers) |
| - GL_ARB_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers) |
| - GL_NV_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers) |
| - GL_ARB_provoking_vertex (same as GL_EXT_provoking_vertex) |
| - Wavefront .obj file loader/viewer demo (progs/demos/objviewer) |
| |
| Bug fixes |
| --------- |
| |
| - Many assorted i965 driver fixes. |
| - Many r300-gallium driver fixes; this driver is now considered |
| unstable-quality instead of experimental-quality. |
| |
| Changes |
| ------- |
| |
| - New Mesa texture/surface format infrastructure |
| - Removed some unused Mesa device driver hooks |
