Seeing as we got OGL 4.3 wouldn't mesa be bumped up to 12? Or were those changes not able to be landed for the next release.

they may be waiting for llvm 3.9. without it openGL >4.1 can not be exposed.

yes it should be bumped soon

Rooly? That would probably explain why I was seeing OGL 3.3 in my settings at times.

no, mesa release numbering does not depend on llvm release schedule

openGL 4.1 should be exposed with llvm 3.7 or later.

Hi. If you're on radeonsi, glxgears for example will output "OpenGL 3.3", that's not incorrect. OpenGL Core Profile should be 4.1, as this command will show:

glxinfo | grep -i "opengl"

Excellent news :-)
Anyone knows whether Intel will provide some fp64 support soon? They are falling seriously behind...

Yep, I saw 3.3 somewhere at some point in my recent round of mucking around with some distro's, and it likely wasn't Arch (which I can't stop settling on) considering it uses latest stables.

Curiously, does radeonsi, ati or radeon ever come up in any descriptions like glxinfo, or is it only ever AMD, CHIPSET(eg TURKS in my laptops case), or ID(like 0x55)?
