This release is very similar to the 2.7.99.902 release +candidate but includes a couple of additional bug fixes, (for bugs +#22760 and @22483). + +Compared to the 2.7 releases this driver contains several new features +and many bug fixes. The driver now depends on X server 1.6 or later, +and eliminates several obsolete code paths, (XAA and EXA removed in +favor of UXA, DRI1 support eliminated). The driver certainly will work +best with an i915 module from a recent kernel (2.6.31) and with +kernel-modesetting (KMS, specified by loading i915 with the option +"modeset=1"). + +New features in 2.8.0 compared to 2.7 +------------------------------------- +* Remove XAA/EXA/DRI1 and NoAccel, and only support UXA/DRI2 now + (requiring xserver 1.6). + +* VLD support added into XvMC for Mpeg2, which decreases CPU usage + when playing video. + +Major fixes in 2.8.0 compared to 2.7 +------------------------------------ +* Fix broken front-buffer rendering + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19174 + +* Fix disabling of XvMC disabled + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20790 + +* Fix broken VT switch on some machines + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19578 + +* Improve performance of trapezoid rendering for UXA + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21376 + +* Vblank sync'd GL buffer swap (fixing video tearing under composite) + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20664 + +* Fix G41 DRM support + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21095 + +* Fix crash on some 8xx + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18974 + +Various fixes for GPU hangs, and more... + Snapshot 2.7.99.902 (2009-07-13) -------------------------------- This is the first release candidate in preparation for the upcoming diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 38574708..6aba5500 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ AC_PREREQ(2.57) AC_INIT([xf86-video-intel], - 2.7.99.902, + 2.8.0, [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg], xf86-video-intel) |
