Xenial added as a target, we will be providing unrenamed backports from now on.
** Description changed: [Impact] Mesa 12.0.5 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.
