Mesa 7.8 In March; Mesa 8.0 To Have OpenGL 3

,----[ Quote ]
| This week in the Mesa world Gallium3D feature 
| levels came about and a new EGL state tracker 
| was released. The week though is not over and 
| there are more announcements coming out for 
| this free software OpenGL stack used on Linux 
| and other operating systems.

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.
