11<H1>Mesa 7.2 Release Notes / 20 September 2008</H1>
12
13<p>
14Mesa 7.2 is a stable release fixing bugs found in 7.1, which was a
15new development release.
16</p>
17<p>
18Mesa 7.2 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
19glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
20Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
21</p>
22<p>
23Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
24The master branch of git uses GEM.
25The prototype DRI2 code that was in 7.1 has also been removed.
26</p>
27<p>
28DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.2

52<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
53<ul>
54<li>Fixed display list bug involving primitives split across lists (bug 17564)
55<li>Fixed some issues with glBindAttribLocation()
56<li>Fixed crash in _tnl_InvalidateState() found with Amira (bug 15834)
57<li>Assorted bug fixes for Ming build
58<li>Fixed some vertex/pixel buffer object reference counting bugs
59<li>Fixed depth/stencil bug in i915/945 driver
60<li>Fixed some shader flow control bugs in i965 driver
61<li>Fixed a few tdfx driver bugs which prevented driver from working
62<li>Fixed multisample enable/disable bug
63</ul>
64
65<h2>Changes</h2>
66<ul>
67<li>Updated SGI header files with new license terms.
68</ul>

72<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
73<ul>
74<li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
75Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
76The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
77have valgrind.  Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
78<li>Switch to freeglut
79<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
80<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
81</ul>
