([Mesa] 5 Hours Ago Mesa 25.2.6)


Eric Engestrom just released Mesa 25.2.6 as the newest bi-weekly stable update to this collection of open-source OpenGL and Vulkan drivers widely used on Linux systems for 3D support.

Mesa 25.2.6 features a very diverse range of driver fixes for the past two weeks and quite a few for the period. Some of the Mesa 25.2.6 highlights include:

- A few RADV Vulkan Video fixes.

- Various TURNIP driver fixes for Qualcomm Adreno Vulkan support.

- More NVK driver fixes for that open-source NVIDIA Vulkan driver. The NAK compiler back-end has also seen fixes such as fixing MMA latencies for ampere GPUs.

- A few HoneyKrisp driver fixes for that Apple Silicon Vulkan driver.

- Various Intel BRW fixes.

- The RADV driver has mitigated a GPU hang on Hawaii GPUs for the games Dota 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

The full list of Mesa 25.2.6 patches can be found via the [1]Mesa-dev mailing list .

"Although Poles suffer official censorship, a pervasive secret
police and laws similar to those in the USSR, there are
thousands of underground publications, a legal independent
Church, private agriculture, and the East bloc's first and only
independent trade union federation, NSZZ Solidarnosc, which is
an affiliate of both the International Confederation of Free
Trade Unions and the World Confederation of Labor. There is
literally a world of difference between Poland - even in its
present state of collapse - and Soviet society at the peak of
its "glasnost." This difference has been maintained at great
cost by the Poles since 1944.
