Eric Engestorm has announced the release of the first release candidate for Mesa 22.3.0. Mesa is the default graphics library for Linux with support for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, OpenCL, and more.

Mesa 22.3.0-rc1

I'm happy to announce the start of a new release cycle with the first release candidate, 22.3.0-rc1.



New features (in no particular order):
- GL_ARB_shader_clock on llvmpipe
- VK_KHR_shader_clock on lavapipe
- Mesa-DB, the new single file cache type
- VK_EXT_attachment_feedback_loop_layout on RADV, lavapipe
- VK_KHR_global_priority on RADV
- GL_KHR_blend_equation_advanced_coherent on zink
- VK_EXT_load_store_op_none on RADV
- VK_EXT_mutable_descriptor_type on RADV
- VK_EXT_shader_atomic_float on lvp
- VK_EXT_shader_atomic_float2 on lvp
- GL_NV_shader_atomic_float on llvmpipe
- VK_EXT_image_robustness on v3dv
- VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state3 on lavapipe
- VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state3 on RADV
- VK_EXT_pipeline_robustness on v3dv
- Mali T620 on panfrost
- Shader disk cache on Panfrost
- support for R8G8B8, B8G8R8, R16G16B16 and 64-bit vertex buffer formats on RADV
- initial GFX11/RDNA3 support on RADV
- various ray tracing optimizations on RADV
- extendedDynamicState2PatchControlPoints on RADV
(VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state2 feature)
- Radeon Raytracing Analyzer integration (using RADV_RRA_* environment variables)

A couple of notes for packagers:
- When building the Intel Vulkan driver with ray-tracing (using `-D intel-clc=enabled`, disabled by default), libclc is required (both as build and runtime dependency).
- Rusticl, the OpenCL implementation (`-D gallium-rusticl=true`, disabled by default), introduces a bunch of new dependencies. Make sure you read docs/rusticl.rst ( https://docs.mesa3d.org/rusticl) if you're considering enabling it.

For now, no driver is enabled by default in Rusticl. See here for how to enable them:
https://docs.mesa3d.org/envvars#rusticl-environment-variables
If you find any issues, please report them here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/new

The next release candidate is expected in one week, on November 9th.
Cheers,
Eric
