[Mesa-announce] Mesa 17.2.8 release candidate

[Andres Gomez]

Hello list,

The candidate for the Mesa 17.2.8 is now available. Currently we have:
 - 16 queued
 - 0 nominated (outstanding)
 - and 1 rejected patch


In the current queue we have:

The SPIR-V compiler has seen corrected a possible SEGFAULT.

The Intel i965 driver includes a correction for Haswell involving
doubles management. 

The AMD drivers have also received some fixes. A couple have gone for
radv and radeon's VCE while r600 has seen corrected some glitches
detected with This War of Mine.

Gallium has also received a patch fixing a problem affecting the 
VMware driver and the st/nine state tracker.

The endianness detection in Windows platform has been corrected to
default to little endian.

Finally, the X11 driver has been improved to notify properly a mesa
warning rather than using fprintf.

Take a look at section "Mesa stable queue" for more information.


Testing reports/general approval
--------------------------------

Any testing reports (or general approval of the state of the branch)
will be greatly appreciated.

The plan is to have 17.2.8 next Friday (22nd of December), around or
shortly after 23:00 GMT.

If you have any questions or suggestions - be that about the current
patch queue or otherwise, please go ahead.
