    Meanwhile Ubuntu 18.04 is still stuck at 18.0.0-rc5. I don't know why it takes too long to update an rc release (which almost certainly has many bugs) to the latest stable point releases.

    Sorry, I usually don't rant (and this is ranting since I personally don't have any problems with current ubuntu's mesa release on my systems) but I'm just in the mood today :P

      Well, since I've installed 18.04 I haven't seen any updates at all yet. Meanwhile 16.04 have been getting them. Can't say why it is so though.

        Aside from the release notes html file, nothing was changed between 18.0.0-rc5 and 18.0.0.

          I don't mean just 18.0.0. It should be updated to 18.0.2 and now to 18.0.3 since these are point releases for bug fixes. Of course it won't be updated to 18.1.x series due to Ubuntu's policy (it will only be updated to Ubuntu's 18.10 new mesa series when 18.04.2 release is available).

              I don't have proposed enabled in my system but I see that it has been pushed just in 18.10 proposed not 18.04 proposed repository (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa). Am I looking at the wrong place?

                I saw a developer ported Mesa 18.0.3 to Haiku (https://www.haiku-os.org) as well. Ubuntu probably will post theirs in a few days as well.

                  the main problem is that these drivers stuck on 3.0 opengl. Why they don't fix the mismatch between the core profile and the other shitty profile!?

                    Maybe read up on why the two profiles exist. While mesa does provide a workaround for bad checks in some instances (env MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE), it can't be mesa's responsibility if an app uses the wrong version/context check. This was figured out pretty quickly by macOS devs back during the transition there, but it was never really an issue with Windows (or Linux for a long time due to the expectation of 1st-party binary drivers).
