Mesa 10.4 Release Notes / December 14, 2014

Mesa 10.4 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 10.4.1.

Mesa 10.4 implements the OpenGL 3.3 API, but the version reported by glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) / glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.3. OpenGL 3.3 is only available if requested at context creation because compatibility contexts are not supported.

MD5 checksums

TBD.

New features

Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers.

• GL_ARB_conditional_render_inverted on nv50
• GL_ARB_sample_shading on r600
• GL_ARB_texture_view on nv50, nvc0
• GL_ARB_clip_control on nv50, nvc0, r300, r600, radeonsi, llvmpipe, softpipe
• GL_KHR_context_flush_control on all drivers
