@@ -1,3 +1,30 @@ +Release 1.4 +----------- + +- Integration of the gen4+ assembler (Damien). + +- Start of a new performance analysis tool from Chris Wilson with front-ends for + both X11 and plain kms. This uses the perf subsystem and the gpu performance + counter kernel patches from Chris. + +- New register dumper quick_dump from Ben, with lots of work from Damien. This + will superseed intel_reg_dumper for newer platforms (which aren't yet + released) since it will allow us to automatically generate register dumps from + the internal xml register specifications. + +- Tools to access the pletoria of new indirect register access functions on + newer platforms. + +- Framebuffer contents dumper to debug some of the nastier corruption issues. + The advantage here is that this bypasses any userspace drivers and so avoids + that the corruptions get magically fixed when taking an X screenshot. + +- Tons of new testcases. Including subtests we're not at roughly 450 tests! + +- Improvements to the test framework infrastructure. See + http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/08/recent-drmi915-testsuite-improvements.html + for an overview. + Release 1.3 (2013-08-07) ------------------------ |
