Mesa 25.1.6 Released With Intel Xe3 Panther Lake Graphics Enabled By Default


In addition to releasing Mesa 25.2-rc1 with its many new features to test, Mesa release manager Eric Engestrom today released Mesa 25.1.6 as the newest bi-weekly stable point release for last quarter's series.

Notable with Mesa 25.1.6 is that it back-ports the change to enable Intel Xe3 graphics by default in integrated form for the upcoming Panther Lake SoCs. Great seeing the Intel Panther Lake support getting all squared away ahead of the next-gen laptops hitting shelves in the coming months. - The Intel ANV driver now increases the maximum number of vertex buffers to 33 on Gen11+ harware.
