10 <h1>Mesa
8.1 Release Notes / date TBD
</h1>
13 Mesa
8.1 is a new development release.
16 Mesa
8.1 implements the OpenGL
3.0 API, but the version reported by
17 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
18 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
3.0.
22 <h2>MD5 checksums
</h2>
31 Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers.
35 <li>GL_ARB_base_instance
</li>
36 <li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended
</li>
37 <li>GL_ARB_debug_output
</li>
38 <li>GL_ARB_invalidate_subdate - Currently a
"no-op" implementation. This
39 extension is always enabled in all drivers.
</li>
40 <li>GL_ARB_shader_bit_encoding
</li>
41 <li>GL_ARB_timer_query
</li>
42 <li>GL_ARB_transform_feedback3
</li>
43 <li>GL_ARB_transform_feedback_instanced

45 <li>GL_EXT_read_format_bgra for ES
1.1 and
2.0</li>
46 <li>GL_EXT_texture_rg for ES
2.x
</li>
47 <li>GL_NV_read_buffer for ES
2.0</li>
48 <li>EGL_KHR_create_context

49 <li>EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the
50 EGL_KHR_surfaceless_{gles1,gles2,opengl} extensions that were never approved
52 <li>EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness
</li>
58 <p>TBD -- This list is likely incomplete.

64 The legacy/static Makefile system (ex: 'make linux-dri') has been removed.
65 The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake and SCons.
