However, some distributors will likely integrate the new version in the near future. Mesa 3D 9.1 is classed as a developer version stability-conscious users should stick with the latest edition in the 9.0 line or wait for version 9.1.1. The new version also includes basic components to support OpenGL 3.2 and 3.3, which several developers are currently implementing in Mesa 3D. The driver for Intel graphics cores in the 2000, 2500, 30 HD Graphics series now supports OpenGL ES 3.0, and the developers have added a range of improvements to the Nouveau OpenGL driver. In version 9.1, the driver for the Radeon X1000 series supports multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA) in addition, the opinion in developer circles is that the driver for Radeon's Southern Islands graphics chips generation (HD7750 and newer Radeon HD cards) has made progress and is gradually getting ready for production use. Mesa 3D's r600 driver for the graphics chips in the Radeon HD 2000 to 6000 series now supports OpenGL 3.1 the i965 driver for recent Intel chips has offered this functionality since Mesa 3D 9.0. These processors are scheduled to be launched as Core i-4000s in a few months and will supersede Intel's current "Ivy Bridge" generation.
The new version of the graphics library, which is typically used by default by Linux distributions for their 3D drivers, now includes an OpenGL driver that, together with a driver in Linux 3.8, supports the graphics core of Intel's Haswell processors. However on the Desktop both nVidia and AMD support the compatibility profile, so your old OpenGL programs should work.The 3D graphics drivers that are available in Mesa 3D 9.1 offer improved support for current and expected-soon graphics chips and promise enhanced 3D performance. The core profile is upward compatible from 3.1, and the compatibility profile is upward compatible all the way from OpenGL 1.1.īut the compatibility profile is not required for OpenGL compilance, so the driver writers may chose to provide only the core profile in which case your 2.1 programs may not work. However in Version 3.2 the ARB defined the concept of GL “profiles” and defined the “core” and “compatibility” profiles. Most OpenGL versions are upward compatible, the only GL version which removed some APIs was the Version 3.1. lib files will be different in GL 4.3, so will my code that I wrote with GL 2.x still compile with GL 4.3? Just out of curiosity, do we still use glut in GL 4.3? I guess the. I’m planning on getting a new PC soon, just wondering where I stand. I’m actually using the graphics chipset on my motherboard, which worked fine when programming GL 2.x.
