The newest feature addition for Mesa 25.3 is enabling support 8x multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA) within the LLVMpipe software rasterizer. While LLVMpipe has a tough enough time handling demanding OpenGL workloads with CPU-based rendering workloads, for lightweight OpenGL tasks where anti-aliasing may be desired, 8x MSAA is now supported. Those interested in all the details on this LLVMpipe addition for next quarter's Mesa 25.3 release can find the information on this merge request.
