A number of prominent changes have landed within Mesa in the past few days. If you haven't updated to the latest Git lately, here's some of what you're missing out on...

Those are my highlights for the past few days in Mesa Git. If I missed anything else of interest, please point it out in the forums.

Well, it hasn't been committed yet, but Marek just sent in some patches to enable ARB_copy_image on radeonSI.

Are there any official specs for Stony Ridge? I saw an article by wccftech and fudzilla, but don't know how accurate they are. The one from wccf is four months old, and they don't cite any sources...well, other than "[their] source". :/

Still no work on r600g tessellation shaders?

Not until we launch the part. Until then it's just gossip & rumor

Darn. :/
Hopefully they'll release a part with decent performance compared to Richland--I'm itching to update my a10-6800k, but I really have no reason to with DDR4 support coming up with AMD's new processors and a switch in socket to go along with it. I'd rather not wait months to a year after the first AM4 boards come out, but I guess that'll give time for prices to drop and kinks to get worked out.
