10 <h1>Mesa
9.0 Release Notes / date TBD
</h1>
13 Mesa
9.0 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
9.0.1.
18 Mesa
9.0 implements the OpenGL
3.1 API, but the version reported by
19 glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
20 glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
21 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
3.1. OpenGL
22 3.1 is
<strong>only
</strong> available if requested at context creation
23 because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.
27 <h2>MD5 checksums
</h2>
36 Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers.
40 <li>GL_ARB_base_instance
</li>
41 <li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended
</li>
42 <li>GL_ARB_debug_output
</li>
43 <li>GL_ARB_invalidate_subdate - Currently a
"no-op" implementation. This
44 extension is always enabled in all drivers.
</li>
45 <li>GL_ARB_shader_bit_encoding
</li>
46 <li>GL_ARB_timer_query
</li>
47 <li>GL_ARB_transform_feedback3
</li>
48 <li>GL_ARB_transform_feedback_instanced
</li>
49 <li>GL_EXT_unpack_subimage for ES
2.0</li>
50 <li>GL_EXT_read_format_bgra for ES
1.1 and
2.0</li>
51 <li>GL_EXT_texture_rg for ES
2.x
</li>
52 <li>GL_NV_read_buffer for ES
2.0</li>
53 <li>EGL_KHR_create_context
</li>
54 <li>EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the
55 EGL_KHR_surfaceless_{gles1,gles2,opengl} extensions that were never approved
57 <li>EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness
</li>
63 <p>TBD -- This list is likely incomplete.

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