     17 <h1>Mesa 10.2 Release Notes / June 6, 2014</h1>
     18 
     19 <p>
     20 Mesa 10.2 is a new development release.
     21 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
     22 with a previous release or wait for Mesa 10.2.1.
     23 </p>
     24 <p>
     25 Mesa 10.2 implements the OpenGL 3.3 API, but the version reported by
     26 glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
     27 glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
     28 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.3.  OpenGL
     29 3.3 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation
     30 because compatibility contexts are not supported.
     31 </p>

     48 <ul>
     49 <li>GL_ARB_buffer_storage on i965, nv30, nv50, nvc0, r300, r600, and radeonsi</li>

     65 <h2>Bug fixes</h2>
     66 
     67 TBD.
     68 
     69 <h2>Changes</h2>
     70 
     71 <ul>
     72 <li>Renamed <i>--with-llvm-shared-libs</i> to <i>--enable-llvm-shared-libs</i></li>
     73 <p>
     74 The option is used to control how mesa is linked against LLVM, and now
     75 defaults to enabled (shared linking).
     76 </p>
     77 
     78 <li>Split <i>libxatracker.so</i> into a standalone library which can be used
     79 with any gallium driver.</li>
     80 <p>
     81 Previously the library was linked statically against vmware's virtual gpu
     82 driver(svga), whereas now it loads a shared pipe_*.so driver. Provide the
     83 following options during configure, if you would like support for svga driver
     84 <i>--enable-xa --with-gallium-drivers=svga</i>
     85 </p>
     86 
     87 <p>
     88 Note: The files are installed in $(libdir)/gallium-pipe/ and the interface
     89 between them and libxatracker.so is <strong>not</strong> stable.
     90 </p>
     91 
     92 <li>The environment variable GALLIUM_MSAA that forced a multisample GLX visual was removed.</li>
     93 </ul>
