10<h1>Mesa 7.2 Release Notes / 20 September 2008</h1>
11
12<p>
13Mesa 7.2 is a stable release fixing bugs found in 7.1, which was a
14new development release.
15</p>
16<p>
17Mesa 7.2 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
18glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
19Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
20</p>
21<p>
22Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
23The master branch of git uses GEM.
24The prototype DRI2 code that was in 7.1 has also been removed.
25</p>
26<p>
27DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.2

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

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