   1 Mesa 7.2 Release Notes / 20 September 2008
   2 ==========================================
   3
   4 Mesa 7.2 is a stable release fixing bugs found in 7.1, which was a new
   5 development release.
   6
   7 Mesa 7.2 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
   8 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
   9 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
  10
  11 Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager. The
  12 master branch of git uses GEM. The prototype DRI2 code that was in 7.1
  13 has also been removed.
  14
  15 DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.2

  32 New features
  33 ------------
  34
  35 -  i965 driver: added support for G41 chipset (Intel)
  36
  37 Bug fixes
  38 ---------
  39
  40 -  Fixed display list bug involving primitives split across lists (bug
  41    17564)
  42 -  Fixed some issues with glBindAttribLocation()
  43 -  Fixed crash in \_tnl_InvalidateState() found with Amira (bug 15834)
  44 -  Assorted bug fixes for Ming build
  45 -  Fixed some vertex/pixel buffer object reference counting bugs
  46 -  Fixed depth/stencil bug in i915/945 driver
  47 -  Fixed some shader flow control bugs in i965 driver
  48 -  Fixed a few tdfx driver bugs which prevented driver from working
  49 -  Fixed multisample enable/disable bug
  50
  51 Changes
  52 -------
  53
  54 -  Updated SGI header files with new license terms.
  55
  56 To Do (someday) items
  57 ---------------------
  58
  59 -  Remove the MEMCPY() and \_mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use
  60    memcpy(). Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc. The wrappers
  61    were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we have
  62    valgrind. Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
  63 -  Switch to freeglut
  64 -  Fix linux-glide target/driver.
  65 -  Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
