Mesa 25.2.2 Ships The Latest Open-Source OpenGL & Vulkan Driver Fixes

([Mesa] 3 Hours Ago Mesa 25.2.2)


Mesa 25.2.2 is out today as another on-time, bi-weekly Mesa point release managed by Eric Engestrom.

Mesa 25.2.2 is now available with the latest batch of fixes atop last month's [1]Mesa 25.2 release that serves as this quarter's feature release for these open-source OpenGL and Vulkan drivers.

Some of the fixes to land for Mesa 25.2.2 over the past two weeks include:

- FIxing Mesa's GL_EXT_shader_clock support.

- A number of Radeon video acceleration fixes. This includes work by AMD engineer David Rosca to fix various RadeonSI VCN issues, particularly for systems running outdated GPU firmware. There is also a RADV Vulkan Video fix for VP9.

- The NVK Vulkan driver has seen a number of fixes, including support for larger QMDs and other updates for newer hardware.

- A few Intel "ANV" Vulkan driver fixes along with a number of other Intel driver fixes like some missing L3 cache flushes.

- 14 patches from Mike Blumenkrantz to provide more fixes for Zink with OpenGL implemented atop the Vulkan API.

- A DRIRC workaround for handling broken behavior with ANGLE.

The full list of Mesa 25.2.2 changes can be found via the [2]mailing list announcement . Mesa 25.3 meanwhile will be the next feature release due out around November and currently in development with the mainline Git code.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
-- J. R. R. Tolkien, "The Lord of the Rings"
