It's Looking Like The Next Mesa Release Won't Be Delayed For OpenGL 4.5

Why not release the next version as 11.4, and hold off on 12.0 until OpenGL 4.5 is ready?

We bump the major version whenever Mesa supports a new OpenGL API version. I believe RadeonSI made it to 4.3, hence this would be Mesa 12. It's also the first release with Vulkan support on Intel.

Why is AMD so focused on rushing to OpenGL 4.5?

actually, amd was against rushing

Your right, should have read more carefully on the first time.

Technically no driver has made it to 4.3, since the UE4 bug(s) prevents that setting to be checked in for now
