Mesa 13.0.6 should arrive soon and promises to be a major patch adding over 100 improvements to various of the shipped graphics drivers, including all Gallium ones, for which various reported crashes have been resolved, as well as r300 with a fix for an old regression that should improve support for BE hardware. It also looks like the Mesa 13.0.6 update will include over a dozen of improvements and bug fixes both the Intel ANV and Radeon RADV Vulkan drivers. The Intel OpenGL drivers received some attention providing better support for Sandy Bridge chipsets, better handling of GPUs without LLC (Last Level Cache), and improved swizzle clears.
