Mesa 13.0.6 is here only to backport many of the improvements from the newest stable branch, Mesa 17.0, to the Mesa 13.0 series, which some of you are still using on your Linux distro. However, you should start migrating to Mesa 17.0 as soon as you read this. These include fixes for some crashes in the GLX/DRI3 front, the ability for eglQuerySurface to correctly return the geometry when running under X11 with DRI3 enabled by default, and support for ResetNotificationStrategy to match EG’s shared context.
