   1 Mesa 17.1.0 Release Notes / May 10, 2017
   2 ========================================
   3
   4 Mesa 17.1.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
   5 stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
   6 for :ref:`Mesa 17.1.1 <calendar>`.
   7
   8 Mesa 17.1.0 implements the OpenGL 4.5 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 4.5. OpenGL 4.5 is **only** available if requested at context creation
  13 because compatibility contexts are not supported.

 223 -  The swr driver now requires LLVM >= 3.9.0 and a C++14 capable
 224    compiler.
 225 -  The radeonsi driver now requires LLVM 3.8.0.
 226 -  The MESA_GLSL=opt and MESA_GLSL=no_opt environment vars have been
 227    removed.
 228 -  The --with-egl-platforms configure option is deprecated. Use
