14 DAY TRIAL // Mesa, an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification and a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics, is now at version 9.0.3.
The biggest improvement brought by Mesa 9.x is the introduction of OpenGL 3.1 API. Nonetheless, glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) / glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) will report different versions, depending on the driver used.
Highlights of Mesa 9.0.3:
• Pink artifacts on objects in the distance in ETQW/Quake 4, have been corrected; • Graphics is no longer glitchy and always flickering; • Graphical glitches in 0 A.D have been corrected; • Oglc vertexshader(advanced.TestLightsTwoSided) no longer causes a GPU hung; • Planeshift grass is now displayed correctly; • The driver now checks for python libxml2; • A glsl-max-varyings regression has been corrected.
A complete list of updates and changes can be found in the official announcement.
