Microsoft engineers continue working on the Mesa Gallium3D code for benefiting Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) use-cases and similar. The newest on Microsoft's front is enabling D3D12 video encode handling for HEVC 422/444 (Y210/YUY2/Y410) content.

Within the newest Mesa Git code is now handling in the D3D12 Gallium3D driver for handling HEVC 422/444 (Y210/YUY2/Y410) video acceleration as well as a couple other video coding fixes to this driver.
