Mesa 24.1 is out, and the graphics team at Collabora has been working hard to bring a slew of new features and bug fixes to Panfrost, Zink, NVK, and Mesa in general. Here's a look at their contributions for this release cycle.

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce a new feature release, 24.1.0!

Some interesting highlights include:

• NVIDIA Vulkan driver NVK is now considered ready for prime time.

Distro packagers are now recommended to include nouveau in the

vulkan-drivers list so that their users can have the option of using it

instead of the proprietary NVIDIA driver.

• Intel Vulkan driver Anv switched to truly asynchronous VM bind, and Xe

support for error dump to debug GPU hangs was added.

• Apple OpenGL driver Asahi has reached OpenGL 4.6 and OpenGL ES 3.2

support.

• Broadcom Vulkan driver V3DV gained support for VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering.

• Arm Mali OpenGL driver Panfrost was prepared for Gen10 (Gxxx), and

Vulkan driver PanVK was modernised for better Midgard (Txxx) and

Bifrost (Gxxx) support.

• All Vulkan drivers have gained support for explicit synchronisation on

Wayland and X11.

New extensions & features (in no particular order):

• VK_EXT_map_memory_placed on RADV, ANV and NVK

• VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_rotate on RADV and ANV and NVK

• VK_KHR_load_store_op_none on RADV, ANV, NVK and Turnip

• VK_KHR_line_rasterization on RADV, ANV, NVK and Turnip

• VK_KHR_index_type_uint8 on RADV, ANV, NVK and Turnip

• VK_KHR_shader_expect_assume on all Vulkan drivers

• VK_KHR_shader_maximal_reconvergence on RADV, ANV and NVK

• VK_KHR_shader_quad_control on RADV

• OpenGL 4.6 on Asahi

• OpenGL ES 3.2 on Asahi

• Mali G610 and G310 on Panfrost

• Mali T600 on Panfrost

• VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_uniform_control_flow on NVK

• alphaToOne/extendedDynamicState3AlphaToOneEnable on RADV

• VK_EXT_device_address_binding_report on RADV

• VK_EXT_external_memory_dma_buf for lavapipe

• VK_EXT_queue_family_foreign for lavapipe

• VK_EXT_shader_object on RADV

• VK_EXT_nested_command_buffer on NVK and RADV

• VK_EXT_queue_family_foreign on NVK

• VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier on NVK

• VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering on V3DV

• GL_ARB_texture_barrier on Asahi & V3D

The next bugfix release is due in two weeks, on June 5th.
