The State Of OpenGL 3.x in Mesa Core

,----[ Quote ]
| While ATI R600 users only recently received 
| OpenGL 2.0 hardware support within the open-
| source Radeon 3D stack and there is many more 
| OpenGL extensions to be implemented just not 
| for the ATI Mesa driver but the other DRI 
| drivers as well, Brian Paul has published a 
| document that lays out the current state of 
| OpenGL 3.x within the classic Mesa core. This 
| document lays out what core Mesa supports and 
| not necessarily that any of the drivers are 
| implementing the said support at this time. 
| Granted, with Mesa not really being very 
| performance-efficient at this time or capable 
| of running most games, a majority of users 
| will be waiting for the OpenGL 3.x state 
| tracker for Gallium3D.

Mesa 7.6 Gets Pulled Into Ubuntu 9.10

,----[ Quote ]
| Mesa 7.6 does not drastically change the level of
| performance compared to the older Mesa snapshot
| that was found in Ubuntu Karmic up until today,
| but there are improvements in a few areas. In the
| below example from an Intel G43 system we
| compared the Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 9.10 Beta, and
| Ubuntu 9.10 Beta with Mesa 7.6 performance using
| the Phoronix Test Suite. With the Urban Terror
| game there were performance improvements already
| to be found in Ubuntu 9.10 compared to Ubuntu
| 9.04 with Mesa 7.4, but this latest code steps up
| the performance one bit more.
