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)

- 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.
