Mesa 25.2-rc2 Released With Intel Wildcat Lake Enablement, Legacy-X11 Option Deprecated

([Mesa] 23 July 10:41 AM EDT Mesa 25.2)


Eric Engestrom just released Mesa 25.2-rc2 as the newest, on-time weekly release candidate for this quarter's [1]Mesa 25.2 feature series.

A number of fixes have landed since last week's [2]Mesa 25.2-rc1 release that also marked the code branching / feature freeze . Some of the latest backports and fixes that are new to Mesa 25.2-rc2 include:

- The [3]Intel Wildcat Lake support in Mesa for open-source OpenGL and Vulkan driver support has now been back-ported from Mesa 25.3-devel to the Mesa 25.2 branch.

- The RadeonSI VCN code now correctly handles the tile swizzle. There are also some RADV Vulkan Video fixes.

- The NVK Vulkan driver and NAK compiler code for open-source NVIDIA driver support has seen some fixes around Blackwell and Hopper GPUs.

- Several Rusticl fixes.

- A few small Lavapipe fixes for that software-based Vulkan implementation.

- A few RADV driver fixes, including some specific to GFX12 / RDNA4.

- A Mesa workaround has been added for the game Interstellar Rift.

- The Meson build option of "legacy-x11" is now set as deprecated.

More details on all of the patches incorporated into this week's Mesa 25.2 release candidate can be found via the [4]Mesa-dev list .

IV. The time required for an object to fall twenty stories is greater than or
equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to
spiral down twenty flights to attempt to capture it unbroken.
Such an object is inevitably priceless, the attempt to capture it
inevitably unsuccessful.
V. All principles of gravity are negated by fear.
Psychic forces are sufficient in most bodies for a shock to propel
them directly away from the earth's surface. A spooky noise or an
adversary's signature sound will induce motion upward, usually to
the cradle of a chandelier, a treetop, or the crest of a flagpole.
The feet of a character who is running or the wheels of a speeding
auto need never touch the ground, especially when in flight.
VI. As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once.
This is particularly true of tooth-and-claw fights, in which a
character's head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of
altercation at several places simultaneously. This effect is common
as well among bodies that are spinning or being throttled. A "wacky"
character has the option of self-replication only at manic high
speeds and may ricochet off walls to achieve the velocity required.
