  17. <h1>Mesa 8.0 Release Notes / February 9, 2012</h1>
  18.  
  19. <p>
  20. Mesa 8.0 is a new development release.
  21. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
  22. with a previous release or wait for Mesa 8.0.1.
  23. </p>
  24. <p>
  25. Mesa 8.0 implements the OpenGL 3.0 API, but the version reported by
  26. glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
  27. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.0.
  28. </p>
  29. <p>
  30. See the <a href="../install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
  31. for DRI hardware acceleration.

  61. <h2>Bug fixes</h2>
  62.  
  63.  
  64. <h2>Changes</h2>
  65. <ul>
  66. <li>Removed all DRI drivers that did not support DRI2.  Specifically,
  67.  i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome were
  68.  removed.</li>
  69. <li>Removed support for BeOS.</li>
  70. <li>Removed the obsolete (and unmaintained) Windows "gldirect" and
  71.  "ICD" drivers.</li>
  72. <li>Removed the linux-fbdev software driver.</li>
  73. <li>Removed all remnants of paletted texture support.  As required by
  74.  desktop OpenGL, <tt>GL_COLOR_INDEX</tt> data can still be uploaded
  75.  to a color (e.g., RGBA) texture.  However, the data cannot be stored
  76.  internally as color-index.</li>
  77. <li>Removed support for GL_APPLE_client_storage extension.</li>
  78. <li>Removed the classic Mesa r300 and r600 drivers, which are superseded
  79.  by the gallium drivers for this hardware.</li>
  80. <li>Removed the dead Gallium i965, cell and failover drivers, which were
  81.  either broken and with nobody in sight to fix the situation or
  82.  deprecated.</li>
  83. </ul>
