mesa-21.1.0

[Douglas R. Reno]

New major version

[Xi Ruoyao]

The ​release note says:

Mesa 21.0.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 21.0.1.

-Dosmesa=gallium -> -Dosmesa=true

A question: is libOSMesa really needed by BLFS?

[Douglas R. Reno]

libOSMesa is really nice to have for those of us who have to use NVIDIA cards (especially with their proprietary driver)

[Douglas R. Reno]

Now 21.0.3

[ken@…]

I find it hard to find any reliable details about what libOSMesa is actually used for. It provides offscreen rendering, and I found one report where someone was using it (perhaps in a VM) for that. Beyond that, there have been reports that people using Wine use it. For nvidia binary drivers, most articles seem to suggest it is not used ? And for nouveau I can find no matches to OSMesa.

I'm going to suggest that we relegate it to an option and in the explanation say it is to enable offscreen rendering.

But I don't have any nvidia machines at the moment, so I might well be talking out my gluteus maximus.

Now version 21.1.0.

Mesa 21.1.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 21.1.1.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Upon further research, there were three -rc releases leading to this release. I'll note that arch is now using it.
