10 <h1>Mesa
7.6 Release Notes,
28 September
2009</h1>
13 Mesa
7.6 is a new development release.
14 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
15 with a previous release or wait for Mesa
7.6.1.
18 Mesa
7.6 implements the OpenGL
2.1 API, but the version reported by
19 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
20 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
2.1.
23 See the
<a href=
"install.html">Compiling/Installing page
</a> for prerequisites
24 for DRI hardware acceleration.

46 <li>GL_ARB_vertex_array_object and GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object extensions
47 (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)
</li>
48 <li>GL_ARB_copy_buffer extension
49 (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)
</li>
50 <li>GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension
51 (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)
</li>
52 <li>GL_ARB_seamless_cube_map extension
53 (supported in software drivers and i965 drivers)
</li>
54 <li>GL_ARB_vertex_array_bgra (ARB synonym for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra)
</li>
55 <li>GL_ARB_sync (supported in software drivers and Intel DRI drivers)
</li>
56 <li>GL_EXT_provoking_vertex extension (supported in Gallium, i915, i965, and software drivers)
57 <li>Rewritten radeon/r200/r300 driver using a buffer manager
58 <li>radeon/r200/r300 GL_EXT_framebuffer_object support when used with
60 <li>radeon/r200/r300 support for GL_ARB_occlusion_query
</li>
61 <li>r300 driver supports OpenGL
1.5</li>
62 <li>r300 driver support for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_EXT_texture_sRGB
63 <li>i915/
945 driver support for GL_ARB_point_sprite, GL_EXT_stencil_two_side
64 and GL_ATI_separate_stencil extensions
65 <li>Rewritten assembler for GL_ARB_vertex_program /
66 GL_ARB_fragment_program.
</li>
67 <li>Added configure --with-max-width=W, --with-max-height=H options to specify
68 max framebuffer, viewport size.
69 <li>Initial version of Gallium llvmpipe driver. This is a new driver based
70 on LLVM which makes exensive use of run-time code generation. This is
71 an
"alpha" stage driver. See the src/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe/README
72 file for more information.
78 <li>i965 DRI driver fixes, including support for
"unlimited" size constant
79 buffers (GLSL uniforms)
