Phoronix: Intel OpenCL Beignet 1.2 Was Quitely Released, No Sign Of OpenCL 2.0 In Sight

Intel China developers quietly announced the release of their open-source Beignet 1.2 OpenCL implementation at the end of August for HD/Iris Graphics hardware. Beignet 1.2 continues supporting OpenCL 1.x while sadly their experimental OpenCL 2.0 branch hasn't been touched now in three months...

Still not complete OpenCL 2.0, etc, that's in the OCL20 branch.

Does it compile & run the Blender or LuxRender OpenCL 1.1 Kernel?

LLVM 3.9 is going to be released soon and they only support up to 3.8? That's what I hate about Beignet.

FYI, LLVM 3.9 has already been released and beignet has patches floating around in the mailing list. They probably wanted to do a release first with the code that they tested, and then possibly break/destabilize it with new LLVM support, new extensions, etc.
