People who are concerned with +stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait +for Mesa 7.8.1. + +Mesa 7.8 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by +glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. +Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1. + +See the `Compiling/Installing page <../install.html>`__ for +prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration. + +MD5 checksums +------------- + +:: + + 5fcfde5383eccb3e9fd665f08a0ea59b MesaLib-7.8.tar.gz + 85cb891eecb89aae4fdd3499cccd934b MesaLib-7.8.tar.bz2 + 754f39593006effc1c8ec3c27c2f1296 MesaLib-7.8.zip + c3869c29fa6c3dbdd763f7428d271e12 MesaDemos-7.8.tar.gz + 9fe8ec184c7f78691e43c4c0a7f97d56 MesaDemos-7.8.tar.bz2 + 063a96947f7b83d4ad789c6cf291b184 MesaDemos-7.8.zip + 5f4246756b7daaddb4fb3f970cad1e28 MesaGLUT-7.8.tar.gz + ca7048a4aa7a437dcc84cc2c7d731336 MesaGLUT-7.8.tar.bz2 + b54581aeb79b585b158d6a32f94feff2 MesaGLUT-7.8.zip + +New features +------------ + +- GL_NV_conditional_render extension (swrast driver only) +- GL_EXT_draw_buffers2 extension (swrast and i965 driver only) +- GL_ARB_fragment_coord_conventions extension (for swrast, i965, and + Gallium drivers) +- GL_EXT_texture_array extension (swrast driver only) +- GL_APPLE_object_purgeable extension (swrast and i945/i965 DRI + drivers) +- Much improved support for `EGL in Mesa <../egl.html>`__ +- New state trackers for `OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 <../opengles.html>`__ +- Dedicated documentation for Gallium + +Bug fixes +--------- + +- Massive improvements to the Gallium driver for R300-R500 Radeons; + this driver is now moderately stable but not terribly performant. + +Changes +------- + +- Removed support for color-index rendering +- Removed support for GCC versions earlier than 3.3.0. |
