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

32New features
33------------
34
35-  i965 driver: added support for G41 chipset (Intel)
36
37Bug 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
51Changes
52-------
53
54-  Updated SGI header files with new license terms.
55
56To 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.
