   1 Mesa 10.2 Release Notes / June 6, 2014
   2 ======================================
   3
   4 Mesa 10.2 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
   5 stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
   6 for Mesa 10.2.1.
   7
   8 Mesa 10.2 implements the OpenGL 3.3 API, but the version reported by
   9 glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
  10 glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being
  11 used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
  12 3.3. OpenGL 3.3 is **only** available if requested at context creation
  13 because compatibility contexts are not supported.

  44 Bug fixes
  45 ---------
  46
  47 TBD.
  48
  49 Changes
  50 -------
  51
  52 -  Renamed *--with-llvm-shared-libs* to *--enable-llvm-shared-libs*
  53
  54    The option is used to control how mesa is linked against LLVM, and
  55    now defaults to enabled (shared linking).
  56
  57 -  Split *libxatracker.so* into a standalone library which can be used
  58    with any gallium driver.
  59
  60    Previously the library was linked statically against vmware's virtual
  61    gpu driver(svga), whereas now it loads a shared pipe_*.so driver.
  62    Provide the following options during configure, if you would like
  63    support for svga driver *--enable-xa --with-gallium-drivers=svga*
  64
  65    Note: The files are installed in $(libdir)/gallium-pipe/ and the
  66    interface between them and libxatracker.so is **not** stable.
  67
  68 -  The environment variable GALLIUM_MSAA that forced a multisample GLX
  69    visual was removed.
