10 <h1>Mesa 7.7 Release Notes / 21 December 2009</h1>
11
12 <p>
13 Mesa 7.7 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 7.7.1.
16 </p>
17 <p>
18 Mesa 7.7 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.
21 </p>

23 See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
24 for DRI hardware acceleration.

42 <h2>New features</h2>
43 <ul>
44 <li>VMware "SVGA" Gallium driver. This is a Gallium3D driver which targets the
45 VMware virtual graphics device. It allows Linux OpenGL guest applications
46 to utilize the 3D graphics hardware of the host operating system.
47 <li>GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex (supported in Intel i965 and software drivers)</li>
48 <li>GL_ARB_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)</li>
49 <li>GL_NV_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)</li>
50 <li>GL_ARB_provoking_vertex (same as GL_EXT_provoking_vertex)</li>
51 <li>Wavefront .obj file loader/viewer demo (progs/demos/objviewer)
52 </ul>
53
54
55 <h2>Bug fixes</h2>
56 <ul>
57 <li>Many assorted i965 driver fixes.
58 <li>Many r300-gallium driver fixes; this driver is now considered unstable-quality instead of experimental-quality.
59 </ul>
60
61
62 <h2>Changes</h2>
63 <ul>
64 <li>New Mesa texture/surface format infrastructure
65 <li>Removed some unused Mesa device driver hooks
