Mesa 7.8 Release Notes / March 28, 2010
=======================================

Mesa 7.8 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
for Mesa 7.8.1.

Mesa 7.8 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.

See the :doc:`Compiling/Installing page <../install>` for
prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.

New features
------------

-  GL_NV_conditional_render extension (swrast driver only)
-  GL_EXT_draw_buffers2 extension (swrast and i965 driver only)
-  GL_ARB_fragment_coord_conventions extension (for swrast, i965, and
   Gallium drivers)
-  GL_EXT_texture_array extension (swrast driver only)
-  GL_APPLE_object_purgeable extension (swrast and i945/i965 DRI
   drivers)
-  Much improved support for :doc:`EGL in Mesa <../egl>`
-  New state trackers for :doc:`OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 <../opengles>`
-  Dedicated documentation for Gallium

Bug fixes
---------

-  Massive improvements to the Gallium driver for R300-R500 Radeons;
   this driver is now moderately stable but not terribly performant.

Changes
-------

-  Removed support for color-index rendering
-  Removed support for GCC versions earlier than 3.3.0.
