While [1]Mesa 26.0 stable will be out soon , the belated Mesa 25.3.5 point release is now available for serving as the current latest stable point release.

For those currently on the Mesa 25.3 stable series, Mesa 25.3.5 is now available while it will soon be winding down once Mesa 26.0 stable is released. Friday's Mesa 25.3.5 release includes a wide assortment of different fixes:

The RADV Vulkan Video code will now use a more reliable means of computing tile sizes. Separately is also a fix for H.264 decode's maxActiveReferencePictures with the RADV Vulkan Video code.

Also on the Vulkan Video side is the [2]Intel ANV driver disabling video encode for newer hardware due to insufficient testing. Meteor Lake and Alchemist dGPUs and newer will no longer have Vulkan Video encode exposed until that code is fixed up and better tested.

There are also a variety of other random bug fixes for both the Intel ANV and Radeon RADV Vulkan drivers. This release also incorporates a few fixes for the aging R600 Gallium3D driver too for those using aging Radeon HD 2000 through HD 6000 series graphics cards.

There are also some fixes to the TURNIP Qualcomm Adreno Vulkan driver, a few NVK fixes, and other minor driver fixes.

The full list of Mesa 25.3.5 patches can be found via the mailing list [3]release announcement .
