Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce a new feature release, 22.3.0.

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 & anv

• 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)

• OpenGL 4.5 on freedreno/a6xx (up from 3.3)

• VK_EXT_mesh_shader on ANV

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 bugfix release is due in two weeks, on December 14th.

Cheers,

Eric
