[Mesa-announce] Mesa 17.1.9 release candidate

[Andres Gomez]

Hello list,

The candidate for the Mesa 17.1.9 is now available. Currently we have:
 - 27 queued
 - 0 nominated (outstanding)
 - and 3 rejected patches


In the current queue we have:

In Mesa Core we include a fix for a rendering problem detected while
using GoogleEarth with the VMware driver.

The state tracker received a couples of patches, one for handling
properly the vertex array double inputs and another for a redundant
initialization of the view template in the PBO downloads for ReadPixels
implementation.

The GLSL compiler has received a fix for the counting of vertex shader
output slots.

The SPIR-V compiler has seen a fix for properly handling the
HelperInvocation builtin.

Intel's anv has solved some possible crashes by better dealing with
unknown VkFormat enums.

The etnaviv driver has also received some care.

AMD's radv has received several patches, including a couple of fixes
for improperly triggered asserts and another one for initializing the
usage flags in the command buffer.

Nouveau's nvc0 driver now performs a previously missing initialization
when querying HW statistics.

Gallivm has seen corrected a problem with big endian architectures when
handling the color channels of a texture. Similarly, the llvmpipe
driver also got a fix for big endian architectures.

EGL has also received some fixes in the memory management avoiding
improper dereferences and plugging leaks, including some in the Wayland
platform.

>From build and integration point of view, we have improved the
detection of xlocale.h availability to allow newer builds with Glibc
2.26 or later to still make use of the locale-setting.

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 17.1.9 next Friday (8th of September), around or
shortly after 21:00 GMT.

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