Public bug reported:

[Impact]

Upstream has released the final bugfix version of the 26.0.x series, we
want to backport it for 26.04.1 so that users get to run the latest
stable release before the first HWE backport for 26.04.2 in Jan'27.

Resolute has 26.0.3, here are release notes from each version up to
26.0.8

[Test case]

we want to cover at least 2-3 different, widely used and already previously 
supported GPU generations from both AMD and Intel which are supported by this 
release, as those are the ones that cover most bases; nouveau users tend to 
switch to the NVIDIA driver after installation. No need to test ancient GPU's 
supported by mesa-amber. And best to focus on the newer generations (~5y and 
newer) as the older ones are less likely to break at this point.
- AMD: Vega, Navi1x (RX5000*), Navi2x (RX6000*), Navi3x (RX7000*)
- Intel: gen9 (SKL/APL/KBL/CFL/WHL/CML), gen11 (ICL), gen12 
(TGL/ADL/RKL/RPL/DG2)

Install the new packages and run some tests:
- check that the desktop is still using hw acceleration and hasn't fallen back 
to swrast/llvmpipe
- run freely available benchmarks that torture the GPU (Unigine 
Heaven/Valley/Superposition)
- run some games from Steam if possible

and in each case check that there is no gfx corruption happening or
worse.

Also test WebGL on a browser like Firefox/Chromium
- open https://webglsamples.org and run some demos

Note that upstream releases have already been tested for OpenGL and
Vulkan conformance by their CI.

[Where things could go wrong]

While this is a minor update of Mesa, there could still be regressions
but we'll try to catch any with testing. The same version has been in
Debian for a while now without issues.
