Phoronix: Mesa 20.1 Could Be Out Next Week If You Help Test RC4

The fourth weekly release candidate is available of Mesa 20.1, the Q2'2020 feature update to the open-source OpenGL / Vulkan driver stack predominantly used by Linux systems. This is the last scheduled release candidate with Mesa 20.1 stable potentially coming out next week if testing goes well and the remaining blocker bugs are addressed...

FWIW, since you'd posted about Kolivas' MESA thread-scheduling commit last week, I've been running their Master branch on my IceLake laptop under KDE (20.04) and have zero issues in my general use-case. How do I fill out an "unbug report"?

I fear a lot of their code is very stable even with "experimental" flag. Mesa guys are awesome

Careful! - I'm currently hunting 2 (3) Mesa git (yes, 20.2 devel ;-)) LLVM 10/11 regressions on Polaris 20. (More to come soon on Mesa-devel.)

I feat that Mesa 20.1-rc3 caused a regression for me. If my display blanks, I have a 50% chance of the system freezing up :-(

Edit: Ok, maybe not 50%, but high.
