Phoronix: Zink In Mesa 20.3 Now Hits OpenGL 3.3, Can Run Blender With This OpenGL-on-Vulkan

For weeks there have been patches getting the Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan implementation to OpenGL 4.6 while mainline Mesa has been at OpenGL 3.0 support. Thankfully the out-of-tree patch delta is being reduced and this week in Mesa 20.3-devel the code has been upstreamed getting the support level to OpenGL 3.3...

Besides Zink progressing nicely;

• llvmpipe and nvc0 are 2 extensions away from moving from OpenGL 4.5 to 4.6 support.
• Freedeno (Qualcomm Adreno) is 1 extension away from moving from OpenGL 3.1 to 3.3 support.
• Panfrost (ARM Mali) is 1 extension away from OpenGL 3.1 support, then another extension away from 3.2 support, then another extension away from 3.3 support.
• virgl is one extension away from moving from OpenGL 4.3 to 4.5 support.

If only if someone could test v3dv with this as I am not able to compile on my Pi due to inexperience

blender-2.9x running on raspberry pi would not be a bad thing at all .. i think we are close ..
