Phoronix: Mesa 19.1 Now Aiming For Release Next Week With Its Many OpenGL/Vulkan Improvements

Mesa 19.1 had been aiming to ship before the end of May but blocker bugs once again have dragged out the release cycle. The current plan is to now issue a fifth release candidate this week with hopes of the final release being in store for next week...

19.1 broke vaapi for me. Every app with vaapi like MPV or chromium crashing. 19.0x workig fine.

xpris, is this one of the blocker bugs?

Microsoft should take note of how Mesa does things. It may be a little tedious for an update to be delayed but I like how the Mesa devs have no tolerance for bugs, and actually test their work.

I'm looking forward to the vulkan hud functions VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS VK_LAYER_MESA_overlay VK_LAYER_MESA_OVERLAY_CONFIG
Need to check stats on wine dxvk games.

xpris, is this one of the blocker bugs?

No. This is not a blocker. Unfortunately, not many people care about vaapi.

That error seems like it shouldn't be hard to fix. I assume it was working at one point - maybe something isn't getting lowered properly anymore.
