Mesa 24.3 Code Branched, Mesa 25.0 Enters Development
Mesa 24.3 feature development is now over and Mesa 25.0 has entered development with Mesa Git.
Mesa 24.3 is going to be a big quarterly feature release with many Radeon Vulkan "RADV" driver improvements, better Apple Silicon OpenGL and Vulkan driver support, numerous performance optimizations, enhanced Rusticl OpenCL capabilities, Vulkan FIFO support on Wayland, initial Intel Xe3 enablement for Panther Lake, the NVIDIA NVK driver is increasingly more capable, removal of the OpenMAX API, Gfxstream was merged, robust Lunar Lake and Battlemage Xe2 support, refinements to the Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan driver code, and many other improvements as detailed across dozens of articles on Phoronix. Mesa 24.3 is especially heavy as originally it was supposed to be branched with its feature freeze back on 16 October. Thus around one month's worth of extra feature code making it into this quarterly series.
