Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce a new feature release, 25.3.1!
Due to a lack of a 25.3.0 announcment, I have included the relavent entries here for that. Users can expect the usual flurry of improvements across all drivers and components, including these new extensions & features highlighted by their developers (in no particular order): - The VDPAU state tracker has been removed. There are design issues with VDPAU, as well as limited support, which render other options like VAAPI and Vulkan Video better choices - Zink and NVK are now mandatory for OpenGL acceleration on recent nvidia GPUs. You can enable them at configure time by adding zink to --gallium-drivers and nouveau to --vulkan-drivers or by setting both to auto on appropriate platforms. In 25.1, we began defaulting to Zink+NVK on Turing and later gpus when Zink+NVK was enabled at build time. In 25.3, the old driver no longer officially suports Turing or later. Users of these gpus without Zink+NVK installed at runtime will instead get software rendering. This affects most nvidia gpus from 2018 or later. - Some RADV_DEBUG options (nodynamicbounds,splitfma,nongg_gs,invariantgeom) are deprecated and will be removed in future Mesa releases. - The PowerVR Vulkan driver is now conformant to Vulkan 1.0 on BXS-4-64 and advertises Vulkan 1.2 support on selected GPUs (although, it isn't fully 1.2 conformant in this release). The driver is no longer considered to be experimental and, as such, can now be enabled via -Dvulkan-drivers=imagination. If you find any issues, please report them here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/new The next bugfix release is due in two weeks, on 2025/12/17.
