Softpipe Gets Close On GL3, Mesa 8.0 For Early February

Does this mean it's possible to (properly) run Unigine Tropics and Heaven benchmarks? Are there going to be benchmarks with OSS drivers on Phoronix?

sure... unigine only means openGL3+

I ment using software pipe. What about patented texture compression (if there are)?

This has already been possible for a while (though I think it's broken with current master?).

Could anyone confirm this? Would be interesting to know.
However, I don't think it is true, because gl3.txt is regulary updated but it still has a few missing options.

docs/GL3.txt haven't been updated for a while. I'm not really sure what the status is exactly but the Intel devs have mentioned that GLSL 1.30 will only be available on SB (and up I guess?) initially.

Yes, I know that glsl 1.30 is already working -- should be updated. *hint!*
I was concerned about the other missing bits.

They ran the last time I tried them on HD4550. No anti-aliasing (and obviously no tesselation), but the rest seemed to work fine.

Unigine benchmarks do not need every single last piece of OpenGL3, and most of GL3 functionality has been in Mesa for a long time. They're just racing to finish up every last bit of it so they can advertise GL3 support.
