Mesa 26.2.2 is out today as the newest bi-weekly stable point release for these open-source OpenGL and Vulkan drivers. Most noticeable with Mesa 26.2.2 is that it back-ports a patch from Mesa 26.3-devel for promoting Intel's Nova Lake S, Nova Lake H, Nova Lake HX, and Nova Lake U integrated graphics to being enabled by default. A few weeks back Mesa Git landed the change for promoting Intel's ANV Vulkan and Iris Gallium3D drivers to Nova Lake graphics by default rather than requiring a force override environment variable. This follows Linux 7.3 promoting Nova Lake graphics to stable and no longer needing its force_probe module parameter override. With Mesa 26.2.2, the Nova Lake graphics is in good shape so the on-by-default patch was back-ported rather than having to wait for next quarter's Mesa 26.3 release. There are also some RADV and ACO fixes, a number of PowerVR PCO fixes, and a variety of other small fixes throughout. The full list of Mesa 26.2.2 changes can be found via the mailing list announcement.
