When I made commit f926cf5bd0a ("docs: Rename GL3.txt to features.txt") in 2016, it was because we finished OpenGL 3.x, and had been using the file to track progress on OpenGL 4.x and OpenGL ES 3.x features for some time. > I don't have a stake in this steak, but to me this issue with this patch is that I don't see what's gained by removing this information? I think Marek's point is that there are zero other EXT / vendor extensions in features.txt that are not also part of some OpenGL or OpenGL ES version. I think if reviewers had been paying attention to features.txt, none of these would have landed in the first place. Looking at the logs, it seems that many of these changes were either unreviewed or were reviewed by Marek. There's some irony there. :) I also believe that leaving these odd ball extensions invites more clutter in this file. >>> Best, >>> Gert >>> >>> On Di, 2019-05-14 at 16:07 -0400, Marek Olšák wrote: >>>> From: Marek Olšák <<a href="mailto:marek.olsak@amd.com" target="_blank">marek.olsak@amd.com</a>> >>>> >>>> --- >>>> docs/features.txt | 10 ---------- >>>> 1 file changed, 10 deletions(-) >>>> >>>> diff --git a/docs/features.txt b/docs/features.txt >>>> index 38d6186dbe1..b1799550a0c 100644 >>>> --- a/docs/features.txt >>>> +++ b/docs/features.txt >>>> @@ -309,30 +309,20 @@ Khronos, ARB, and OES extensions that are not >>>> part of any OpenGL or OpenGL ES ve >>>> GL_ARB_seamless_cubemap_per_texture DONE >>>> (freedreno, i965, nvc0, radeonsi, r600, softpipe, swr, virgl) >>>> GL_ARB_shader_ballot DONE >>>> (i965/gen8+, nvc0, radeonsi) >>>> GL_ARB_shader_clock DONE >>>> (i965/gen7+, nv50, nvc0, r600, radeonsi, virgl) >>>> GL_ARB_shader_stencil_export DONE >>>> (i965/gen9+, r600, radeonsi, softpipe, llvmpipe, swr, virgl) >>>> GL_ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array DONE >>>> (i965/gen6+, nvc0, radeonsi) >>>> GL_ARB_sparse_buffer DONE >>>> (radeonsi/CIK+) >>>> GL_ARB_sparse_texture not started >>>> GL_ARB_sparse_texture2 not started >>>> GL_ARB_sparse_texture_clamp not started >>>> GL_ARB_texture_filter_minmax not started >>>> - GL_EXT_memory_object DONE >>>> (radeonsi) >>>> - GL_EXT_memory_object_fd DONE >>>> (radeonsi) >>>> - GL_EXT_memory_object_win32 not started >>>> - GL_EXT_render_snorm DONE (i965, >>>> radeonsi) >>>> - GL_EXT_semaphore DONE >>>> (radeonsi) >>>> - GL_EXT_semaphore_fd DONE >>>> (radeonsi) >>>> - GL_EXT_semaphore_win32 not started >>>> - GL_EXT_sRGB_write_control DONE (all >>>> drivers that support GLES 3.0+) >>>> - GL_EXT_texture_norm16 DONE >>>> (freedreno, i965, r600, radeonsi, nvc0) >>>> - GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_R8 DONE (all >>>> drivers that support GLES 3.0+) >>>> GL_KHR_blend_equation_advanced_coherent DONE >>>> (i965/gen9+) >>>> GL_KHR_texture_compression_astc_hdr DONE >>>> (i965/bxt) >>>> GL_KHR_texture_compression_astc_sliced_3d DONE >>>> (i965/gen9+, radeonsi) >>>> GL_OES_depth_texture_cube_map DONE (all >>>> drivers that support GLSL 1.30+) >>>> GL_OES_EGL_image DONE (all >>>> drivers) >>>> GL_OES_EGL_image_external DONE (all >>>> drivers) >>>> GL_OES_EGL_image_external_essl3 DONE (all >>>> drivers) >>>> GL_OES_required_internalformat DONE (all >>>> drivers) >>>> GL_OES_surfaceless_context DONE (all >>>> drivers) >>>> GL_OES_texture_compression_astc DONE (core >>>> only) >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> mesa-dev mailing list >>> <a href="mailto:mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org</a> >>> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev</a> >>> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> mesa-dev mailing list >> <a href="mailto:mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org</a> >> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev</a> </blockquote></div>
