Public bug reported: Mesa 12.0.4 is now available as a point release in the stable branch.
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? ** Affects: mesa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: sru -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641017 Title: Mesa 12.0.4 - multiple important fixes, stable branch Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Mesa 12.0.4 is now available as a point release in the stable branch.
