Conformance testing not being a problem for mesa (cost wise) is very good news!

and what about haswell? still on 3.3 and vulkan is far from working properly

[Mr. Octus]

For those expressing concern about the Khronos conformance test suite for GL 4.4/4.5, the advertised costs, etc, I've got some clarification from Khronos and the concerns are basically a non-issue for Mesa. I'll write up more details in the morning.

You're such a tease Michael

Very good for intel, at now is time focus in other extensions

Maybe in 2017 at least opensource drivers have all extensions supported

Please pardon my OT question.

GraysonPeddie the script that posts articles to forums only runs every 10 minutes so depending when article is posted if you are quick to read and want to comment it can sometimes just redirect you to forum as comment. With the main site and forums being powered by different software, unfortunately not perfect integration.

Haswell just needs fp64 support to turn on 4.5. It's being worked on, just not done yet.
