[Mesa-announce] [ANNOUNCE] Mesa 18.3.6 release candidate

[Emil Velikov]

Hello list,

The candidate for the Mesa 18.3.6 is now available. Currently we have:
 - 19 queued
 - 0 nominated (outstanding)
 - and 0 rejected patches


Note: this is the final anticipated release in the 18.3 series. Users are
encouraged to migrate to the 19.0 series in order to obtain future fixes.


The current queue consists mainly of GLSL improvements. We also have a few
UUID fixes in for both GL and Vulkan drivers.

The i965 driver has been addressed to correctly advertise the extension
ARB_fragment_shader_interlock - platforms prior to GEN9 lack this feature.
The Vulkan RADV driver and GL softpipe one have also received some fixes.

On the meson build side - a missing dependency tracking was fixed, while
improving support when using DESTDIR.


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 18.3.6 this Thursday (28 March 2019), around or shortly
after 12:00 GMT.

If you have any questions or suggestions - be that about the current patch
queue or otherwise, please let me know.


Trivial merge conflicts
