  17 <h1>Mesa 10.2 Release Notes / June 6, 2014</h1>
  18
  19 <p>
  20 Mesa 10.2 is a new development release.
  21 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
  22 with a previous release or wait for Mesa 10.2.1.
  23 </p>
  24 <p>
  25 Mesa 10.2 implements the OpenGL 3.3 API, but the version reported by
  26 glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
  27 glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
  28 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.3.  OpenGL
  29 3.3 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation
  30 because compatibility contexts are not supported.

  65 <h2>Bug fixes</h2>
  66
  67 TBD.
  68
  69 <h2>Changes</h2>
  70
  71 <ul>
  72 <li>Renamed <i>--with-llvm-shared-libs</i> to <i>--enable-llvm-shared-libs</i></li>
  73 <p>
  74 The option is used to control how mesa is linked against LLVM, and now
  75 defaults to enabled (shared linking).
  76 </p>
  77
  78 <li>Split <i>libxatracker.so</i> into a standalone library which can be used
  79 with any gallium driver.</li>
  80 <p>
  81 Previously the library was linked statically against vmware's virtual gpu
  82 driver(svga), whereas now it loads a shared pipe_*.so driver. Provide the
  83 following options during configure, if you would like support for svga driver
  84 <i>--enable-xa --with-gallium-drivers=svga</i>
  85 </p>
  86
  87 <p>
  88 Note: The files are installed in $(libdir)/gallium-pipe/ and the interface
  89 between them and libxatracker.so is <strong>not</strong> stable.
  90 </p>
  91
  92 <li>The environment variable GALLIUM_MSAA that forced a multisample GLX visual was removed.</li>
  93 </ul>
