Intel Adds BPTC Texture Compression To Their Mesa Driver

That chart makes me happy.

OSX is mostly on 4.2 as well, so any new high end OGL engine should be targeting it. Yea, some hardware doesn't support beyond the 3 series, but I don't think that market is large enough to justify not using the indirect binds everywhere.

It's starting to look to me like Mesa 11 - when it is released - could or will contain all three OpenGL upgrades: 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 at once.

Save one or two features down the line, all are either a) done or b) in progress. The big question is GLSL for these three.

it is not starting to look this was said in september at mesa presentation. and it was also said 4.2 is most probable since 2 of hardest challenges are in 4.0

thank you intel i have sandy and ivy thank you so much

Don't fret just yet - it sure looks to me like Neil implemented it on Ivybridge as well. So you should get it on at least one of your machines. Apparently Sandybridge hardware doesn't support BC7/BPTC, so there's not much the driver developers can do about that.

thank you intel

Wow, 4.1 and 4.2 portions are close to done for Intel.
