mesa-25.2.2

[Xi Ruoyao]

New minor version.

Editors should test the new release series and report the regression(s) to upstream if any is found.

It's better to do this after BLFS 12.4 release though.

[zeckma]

25.2.1 released. Have yet to test the 25.2 series but will pretty soon.

[Xi Ruoyao]

Now 25.2.2.

[Xi Ruoyao]

Good news: 25.2.2 release note mentions a bug named "missing sparse synchronization in zink" is resolved, and when I try zink again the "strange black artifacts" I complained in https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/21748#comment:9 are finally gone. I can try some more serious use of zink now.

[zeckma]

There may have been another fix I haven't noticed that fixes my issues with Zink. I'll be trying 25.2.2 pretty soon here. Need to take of some things first.

[zeckma]

Some visual issues, but mostly with the cursor. I'm using Hyprland, so it might be an issue with the hyprcursor format. Certain applications treat it differently though. Basically depending on the condition, the cursor disappears, and will reappear if the cursor is moved. These effects weren't seen otherwise, so it's new. Been testing Nouveau which uses Zink by default.

However, no show stoppers. A bit inconvenient, but just moving the cursor will allow you to see where it is again. I can't tell if the issue with Firefox crashing is fixed, but stress testing it didn't make it behave any differently beyond the cursor issue being noticeably worse.

I'm going to be updating to this version in the book.
