The Mesa 12.0.5 3D Graphics Library maintenance update was released mainly to further stabilize the built-in Intel i965 and Radeon (r600, radeonsi) drivers by patching a number of GPU hang issues reported by users with Mesa 12.0.4, as well as to add some rendering fixes. Additionally, Mesa 12.0.5 3D Graphics Library ships with an updated SWR driver that can now be compiled against LLVM/Clang 3.7 up-to 3.9, and the GLVND GLX implementation was improved to output the accurate GLX entry points, while the Intel Vulkan driver now exposes the api_version.
