17.3.6.501-1

• Nesa3D 17.3.6 release notes

Build environment updates

• Git 2.16.1.4 -> 2.16.2.1
• Visual Studio 15.5.6 -> 15.5.7
• pywin32 222 -> 223

Distribution creation and deployment utility

• Move each osmesa DLL in its own folder. Reduces usage complexity.

Build script and build documentation

• Allow build without LLVM. Only osmesa-swrast, osmesa-gallium and softpipe are built in this case.

Build script

• Drop pywin32 installation via pypi.
• Allow cancel build if LLVM is missing.

End-user documentation

• Small enhancements.

Known issue

• This release breaks osmesa deployments performed with quick deployment utility. A re-deployment is required. Manual copy-pastes of osmesa libraries are unaffected.

17.3.5.501-1

• Updated Mesa3D to 17.3.5

Build script

• Allow distribution creation without building Mesa if we have binaries from a past build.

17.3.4.501-1

• Updated Mesa3D to 17.3.4

Build environment updates

• pywin32 221 -> 222.
• Visual Studio 15.5.4 -> 15.5.6.
• setuptools 38.4.0 -> 38.5.1.
• Git 2.16.0.2 -> 2.16.1.4.

Build script

• Experimental: Get pywin32 via pypi.
• Drop support for libxtc_dxtn standalone library. Mesa3D 17.2 reached end-of-life on 23rd December 2017.

Build script documentaiton

• pywin32 moved to Github.
• Drop support for libxtc_dxtn standalone library and other few miscellaneous changes.

Inno Setup

• Drop S3TC standalone library support.
• Drop swr 32-bit support. Unsupported upstream.

Debugging

• Add a script to generate LLVM config output. Allows for finding new LLVM libraries a lot easier using an online diff service like text-compare.com. Makes sending patches upstream easier.

17.3.3.501-1

• Updated Mesa to 17.3.3.

Build environment changes

• CMake: 3.10.1 -> 3.10.2.
• Visual Studio: 15.5.3 -> 15.5.4.

• Git: 2.15.1.2 -> 2.16.0.2.

17.3.2.501-1

• Update Mesa3D to 17.3.2.
• Information about build environment and configuration is available here.
• Add Git version to build environment report.
• Use Visual Studio MsBuild instead of Ninja when building LLVM. Ninja had no update since September 2017.

17.3.1.501-1

• Update Mesa3D to 17.3.1.
• Information about build environment and configuration is available here

User guide

• Expanded installation and usage section.
• Created a package contents section.
• Split tutorial about environment variables in its own section as it is relevant for both swr driver and manual GL context configuration.
• Add a swr driver use example.

Build script documentation

• Visual Studio components related enhancement.

Misc

• Add a detailed report about build environment and configuration.

17.3.0.500-1

• Updated Mesa3D to 17.3.0.

This is the first release of Mesa3D with built-in S3TC support so there is no dxtn.dll anymore. I enabled S3TC texture cache as always as integration made no change on that front. See Mesa3D release notes for details.

• LLVM and Mesa3D were built with Visual Studio 2017 v15.5.1.

Build script

• Use a simple python script to update all python modules. Don't load python scripts in PATH. Things might work fine regardless.

Build script documentation

• Update Visual Studio 2017 list of components needed to build Mesa and LLVM.

Usage documentation

• OpenGL 4.6 context handling landed in Mesa 17.3.

17.2.6.500-1

• Updated Mesa to 17.2.6.
• Built with Visual Studio 2017 v15.4.4 and Scons 3.0.1.

Build script

• Python modules update: pip freeze is seriously broken. Always use pip install -U. setuptools wasn't updated at all due to pip freeze shortcomings. Also Scons 3.0.1 wasn't picked up despite being live on Pypi.
• Python modules: wheel is no longer needed.

Build script documentation

• Workaround a pywin32 installer bug.
• Updating setuptools pre-loaded with Python allows for successful installation of Scons via Pypi without having to install wheel.

• Updated Mesa3D to 17.2.5.
• Built LLVM and Mesa3D with Visual Studio 2017 v15.4.3.
