New features¶
New DRI memory manager system. Currently used by the i915tex driver. Other DRI drivers will be updated to use the new memory manager in coming months.
To use the new driver you’ll need the most recent DRM library and drivers (version 2.2 or later) and a recent xf86-video-intel driver module from X.org.
New features resulting from this work include:
EXT_framebuffer_objects, render to texture
ARB_pixel_buffer_objects
Accelerated CopyTexSubimage, DrawPixels, ReadPixels, CopyPixels
Accelerated texture uploads from pixel buffer objects
Potentially texturing directly from the pixel buffer object (zero copy texturing).
New Intel i965 DRI driver
New
minstall
script to replace normal install programFaster fragment program execution in software
Added (or fixed) support for GLX_SGI_make_current_read to the following drivers:
radeon
savage
mga
tdfx
Added support for ARB_occlusion_query to the tdfx driver (Ian Romanick).
Bug fixes¶
fixed invalid memory read while rendering textured points (bug 8320)
fixed problems with freebsd-dri configuration (bug 8344)
Mesa’s fake glxGetCurrentContext() wasn’t thread-aware
OPTION NV_position_invariant didn’t work in NV vertex programs
glDrawPixels into a user-created framebuffer object could crash Xlib driver
Line clipping was broken in some circumstances
fragment.fogcoord register didn’t always contain the correct value
RGBA logicops didn’t work reliably in some DRI drivers
Fixed broken RGBA LogicOps in Intel DRI drivers
Fixed some fragment program bugs in Intel i915 DRI driver
Fixed glGetVertexAttribfvARB bug 8883
Implemented glGetUniform[fi]vARB() functions
Fixed glDrawPixels(GL_COLOR_INDEX, GL_BITMAP) segfault (bug 9044)
Fixed some gluBuild2DMipmaps() bugs (Greg McGarragh)
Fixed broken “mgl” name mangling
Indirect rending was broken for glMap* functions (bug 8899)
Internal code changes¶
The device driver functions ResizeBuffers and GetBufferSize have been decprecated.
OpenGL 2.0 and 2.1 support is nearly done. We need to do quite a bit more testing of the shading language functions.
To Do (someday) items¶
Switch to freeglut
Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
Fix linux-glide target/driver.
Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
