The New Reality

I’ve been traveling a bit lately, but Mesa has reached an important landmark that I wanted to broadcast to the three users out there who have been waiting years for us to reach this milestone:

Mesa now* supports all the GL OVR extensions.

You read that correctly.

Nearly a decade after the extensions were drafted and half that since everyone in VR-land moved to Vulkan, Mesa will now support all three of the people who still write VR applications in GL.

Big thanks to Marek for doing the GLSL heavy lifting and whoever eventually rubber stamps the followup which adds the last extension which is definitely being used.

* Only zink users are cool enough to withstand the awesome power of these extensions.
