“We have been talking about Mesa 7.6 since this May when the
OpenVG state tracker was added in and since then it has picked up a
plethora of new features and changes. In this release on the ATI
side it has integrated the Radeon 3D driver rewrite to use the
buffer manager, VBO and OQ support, and proper OpenGL 1.5 support.
This time around the Intel DRI and software drivers (along with the
Gallium3D drivers) have picked up support for various OpenGL
extensions like GL_ARB_map_buffer_range, GL_ARB_copy_buffer, and
GL_ARB_vertex_array_object. Mesa 7.6 also includes the assembly
shader rework.:
