[Mesa-announce] [ANNOUNCE] Mesa 17.3.9 release candidate

[Juan A. Suarez Romero]

Hello list,

The candidate for the Mesa 17.3.9 is now available. Currently we have:
 - 23 queued
 - 0 nominated (outstanding)
 - and 0 rejected patches

NOTE: It is anticipated that 17.3.9 will be the final release in the
17.3 series. Users of 17.3 are encouraged to migrate to the 18.0 series
in order to obtain future fixes.

The current queue consists of:

Patches that clarify and fix issues regarding GL/GLES version overriding through environment variables.

AC get patches to use if/loop builder helpers, which increases the readability for LLVM IR dumps.
RadeonSI is beneficiated from this.

GLSL gets also some patches, including one to fix bugs related with loop unrolling.

RADV also gets a couple of fixes, one of them for a bug in Feral's game in VEGA.

Finally, there are other patches for NIR, st/dri, st/nine, spirv, and i965.

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 17.3.9 this Monday (16th April), around or shortly after 11:00
GMT.

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