[Mesa-announce] [ANNOUNCE] mesa 18.2.0-rc5

Thu Aug 30 00:28:09 UTC 2018

Hello list,

The fifth release candidate for the Mesa 18.2.0 is now available.

As per the issue tracker [1] we still have a number of outstanding bugs
blocking the release.

[1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107457

Currently we have:
 - 23 queued
 - 11 nominated (outstanding)
 - and 0 rejected patches

We have in the queue:

In Mesa Core we have included a correction to actually expose the
GL_EXT_robustness extension for GLES.

The GLSL compiler has received a fix preventing an incorrect linking
error when having allowed unused in blocks with not corresponding out
blocks in the previous stage. Also, its tests have been made sure that
they should be executed from the build system check target or, at the
very least, with an explicitly versioned python executable.

AMD's drivers have received multiple fixes, including one to correct
some rendering with radv for Super Mario Sunshine with the Dolphin
emulator and another one detected due to a segmentation fault in Rise
of the Tomb Raider.

Intel's drivers have also received multiple fixes, including one to
correct a GPU hang in DOOM 2016 running under wine.

The documentation has also gotten a couple of fixes, to note 0.8.0 as
the minimum required mako version, and to add 3 more features into the
18.2's release notes.

Finally, from build and integration point of view, we have multiple
fixes for meson, correcting EGL's compilation, making the GLSL tests to
explicitly run with python, and to actually load translation files.

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 the sixth release candidate for 18.2.0 next
Wednesday (2018/09/05), around or shortly after 18:00 EEST.

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