Mesa 11.0 Officially Released With OpenGL 4.1 For RadeonSI/Nouveau

[kaprikawn]

Lovely stuff. I anxiously await this hitting the Arch repos and shall be testing any and all things OpenGL 4 + in my Steam library soon after it does.

If anyone who had any part of this is reading, thank you.

Not without LLVM 3.7 it won't. Being stable doesn't change anything if your maintainer isn't packaging the minimum requirements to enable features at build time.

Thank you for clearing that up for me, I appreciate it

i think it wouldn't

yes it will

Considering that a lot of projects have moved to a shorten development cycle successfully, maybe also the Mesa project should adopt such strategy and move on a 4 months release cadence?
It means less time to have a new extension or a bug fix available.

Mesa already has 3 months release cadence... for a year or so if not two

Mesa 12 for when OpenGL 4.5 and OpenGLES 3.2 compliance is finished?

Why would you want Mesa to slow down from their current 3 month release cycle to a 4 month one?

I'd prefer Vulkan for Mesa 12 and OpenGL 4.5 for Mesa 13

No, Mesa 12 will be released whenever the next hardware driver exposes a new OpenGL level over 4.1. That will almost certainly be 4.2 or 4.3, not the full 4.5.
