The first release candidate for Mesa 23.3.0 has been released for testing.

mesa 23.3.0-rc1

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce the start of a new release cycle with the first release candidate, 23.3.0-rc1.

The main highlights here are probably the addition of nvk [1], a reverse-engineered NVIDIA Vulkan driver, and the addition of the Raspbery Pi 5 support [2] to v3d (Opengl) & v3dv (Vulkan).

It also includes a lot of work on the Asahi driver, but it's still not ready to be used *here* as the UAPI isn't stable yet and thus cannot be merged upstream. Please use the downstream driver instead for now:  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/asahi/mesa

As always, if you find any issues please report them here:   https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/new

Any issue that should block the release of 23.3.0 final, thus adding more 23.3.0-rc* release candidates, must be added to this milestone:   https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/milestones/44

The next release candidate is expected in one week, on November 1st.

Cheers,
Eric
