zesty is still in limbo, gtk tests fail because of glibc or whatever, mesa is not to blame
** Description changed: - Mesa 12.0.4 is now available as a point release in the stable branch. + [Impact] + Mesa 12.0.4 is now available as a point release in the stable branch. Mesa has MRE for these. The release contains multiple fixes amongst which: The nouveau vdpau driver performance has been restored. The wayland-egl module no longer crashes if the user calls eglDestroySurface and wl_egl_window_destroy in the "wrong" order. libEGL correctly advertises the EGL platforms available. Multiple fd leaks were addressed, which could prevent rmmod of devices such as the DisplayLink drivers. Radeonsi has gained noticeable performance by disabling ReZ. Interop between third party OpenCL implementations and mesa's libGL/libEGL is back online... and many more. Full changelog: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2016-November/135027.html I am particularly interested in the RadeonSI performance boost: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2016-October/131759.html In real-world tests the boost is about 20% (Yay!) : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Mesa-Post-ReZ-Change-Benchmarks - Could it please be added to Yakkety as a SRU? + [Test case] + There's only a modest number of changes to the drivers, the performance boost for Radeon is result of one fix for the shaders. + + [Regression potential] + The release consists of cherry-picks from master, specifically selected as bugfixes. Regression potential should be low. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641017 Title: Mesa 12.0.4 - multiple important fixes, stable branch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1641017/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
