[Mesa-announce] [ANNOUNCE] mesa 17.0.0

Mon Feb 13 12:10:51 UTC 2017

Hi all,

Mesa 17.0.0 is now available.

As some of you have noticed we've skipped the 14-16 releases all together.

Since Mesa has reached OpenGL 4.5 capability, as of Mesa 13.0.0, we decided to
make a small change in versioning scheme:
Previously the major number was bumped as we reach the next GL version.
Now it is bumped to reflect the year.

Thus a number of 17.2.5 indicates the third Mesa series of 2017, fifth bugfix
release.

Here are some of the thing we have in this release:

Vulkan drivers:
 - Correctly return (and implement) VK_INCOMPLETE on multiple WSI queries
 - Support for the VK_KHR_sampler_mirror_clamp_to_edge extension
 - We now use the Khoronos vk.xml file to generate the entrypoints

ANV:
 - HiZ and performance improvements
 - Float64 support and tessellation shader support.

RADV:
 - Support multiple devices
 - Support for the VK_AMD_draw_indirect_count extension
 - Support for the VK_AMD_negative_viewport_height extension

EGL:
 - Android: Use gralloc::lock_ycbcr for resolving YUV formats
 - Android: Support for pbuffer surfaces

Mesa core:
 - Noticeable refactoring en route to GLSL Shader Cache
 - Groundwork for int64

i965:
 - OpenGL 4.5 support on Haswell hardware
 - Reuse the same BLORP and ISL code as the ANV driver

Gallium:
 - HUD: A number of race issues and memory leaks were resolved.

etnaviv:
 - New driver for Vivante GPU IP

freedreno
 - Support for a5xx

nouveau:
 - OpenGL 4.3 support on Maxwell hardware
 - Improved performance due to instruction pipelining (Maxwell)

r600/radeonsi
 - VCE: Handle H.264 level 5.2
 - Polaris12 support
 - Dozens of performance improvements

Clover:
 - Implement clGetExtensionFunctionAddressForPlatform.
 - Add missing clGetDeviceInfo CL1.2 queries

VDPAU:
 - Use dri3 to directly send the buffer to X

Build:
 - Building RADV requires --enable-gallium-llvm
 - Compatibility fixes for building mesa as part of ARC
 - The vulkan headers vk_platform.h and vulkan.h are no longer installed
 - A couple of configure options (--with-sha1 and --disable-shader-cache) are
removed alongside their respective library requirements.
