11<H1>Mesa 7.1 Release Notes / May XX, 2008</H1>

13<p>
14Mesa 7.1 is a new development release.
15There have been many internal code changes since Mesa 7.0.x.
16It should be relatively stable, but those who are especially concerned about
17stability should wait for Mesa 7.2.

27<h2>New features</h2>
28<ul>
29<li>autoconf-based configuration
30<li>Reduced dependencies between X server and Mesa
31<li>GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for Xlib driver
32<li>Support for the GL shading language with i965 driver (implemented by Intel)
33</ul>

36<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
37<ul>
38<li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
39Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
40The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
41have valgrind.  Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
42<li>Switch to freeglut
43<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
44<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
45</ul>
