OpenGL 22 3.1 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation 23 because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported. 24 </p> 25 26 27 <h2>MD5 checksums</h2> 28 <pre> 29 be4cd34c6599a7cb9d254b05c48bdb1f MesaLib-9.0.tar.gz 30 60e557ce407be3732711da484ab3db6c MesaLib-9.0.tar.bz2 31 16b128544cd3f7e237927bb9f8aab7ce MesaLib-9.0.zip 32 </pre> 33 34 35 <h2>New features</h2> 36 37 <p> 38 Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers. 39 </p> 40 41 <ul> 42 <li>Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver</li> 43 <li>Added new Gallium3D - radeonsi driver</li> 44 <li>Added OpenCL state tracker Clover</li> 45 <li>Completed VDPAU state tracker (video decoding support is currently limited to MPEG1 and MPEG2)</li> 46 <li>GL_ARB_base_instance</li> 47 <li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended</li> 48 <li>GL_ARB_debug_output</li> 49 <li>GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation.
