 - Multiple Vulkan extensions are supported by the ANV and RADV drivers.
 - The etnaviv driver has feature complete OpenGL 2.1.
 - The radeonsi driver has experimental NIR support
 - Further glthread optimisations and improvements.
 - With the S3TC patent now expired, the libdxtn library was merged in Mesa.
