Mesa 24.3.1 Released With Many Graphics Driver Bug Fixes

([Mesa] 3 Hours Ago Mesa 24.3.1)


Building off the [1]Mesa 24.3 release from two weeks ago is now Mesa 24.3.1 as the first stable point release following their usual bi-weekly release regiment.

After Mesa 24.3 brought a ton of new features to the table, Mesa 24.3.1 brings the initial batch of fixes for addressing fall-out and other newly-reported bugs to these open-source graphics drivers primarily consisting of OpenGL and Vulkan API implementations.

Mesa 24.3.1 brings many fixes across the board from the aging Radeon R600 driver code to PanVK Arm driver fixes, a few Intel ANV driver fixes, Vulkan WSI Wayland fixes, some RADV fixes, and adjustments to other areas like the Zink driver and Venus.

None of the changes alone particularly standout but those interested in seeing the full list of fixes with Mesa 24.3.1 can see the [2]release announcement for all the details.

Scientists were preparing an experiment to ask the ultimate question.
They had worked for months gathering one each of every computer that was
built. Finally the big day was at hand. All the computers were linked
together. They asked the question, "Is there a God?". Lights started
blinking, flashing and blinking some more. Suddenly, there was a loud
crash, and a bolt of lightning came down from the sky, struck the
computers, and welded all the connections permanently together. "There
is now", came the reply.
