  11 <H1>Mesa 7.1 Release Notes / May XX, 2008</H1>

  13 <p>
  14 Mesa 7.1 is a new development release.
  15 There have been many internal code changes since Mesa 7.0.x.
  16 It should be relatively stable, but those who are especially concerned about
  17 stability should wait for Mesa 7.2.

  27 <h2>New features</h2>
  28 <ul>
  29 <li>autoconf-based configuration (and clean-up of Makefiles)
  30 <li>Reduced dependencies between X server and Mesa
  31 <li>GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for Xlib driver
  32 <li>Support for the GL shading language with i965 driver (implemented by Intel)
  33 </ul>

  36 <h2>Bug fixes</h2>
  37 <ul>
  38 <li>Numerous GLSL fixes
  39 <li>Fixed some error code/detection bugs in the GLSL-related API functions
  40 </ul>
  41
  42
  43 <h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
  44 <ul>
  45 <li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
  46 Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
  47 The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
  48 have valgrind.  Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
  49 <li>Switch to freeglut
  50 <li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
  51 <li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
  52 </ul>
