Here is the current tentative 17.1.0 release schedule.

Apr 14 2017 - Feature freeze/Release candidate 1
Apr 21 2017 - Release candidate 2
Apr 28 2017 - Release candidate 3
May 05 2017 - Release candidate 4/final release

This gives us approximately five (5) weeks to get new features in.

Here is a rough list of people and tasks, which come to mind. Have I missed
anything, do any of these sound like they won't make it ?

- Christian:
P010/P016 support for Gallium drivers via the VAAPI, OMX(?) and VDPAU(?) API
- Emil:
pthread-stubs, drmDevice2, EGL GLVND, broken glsl tests
- Timothy:
shader cache (anything outstanding?), gl threaded dispatch
- Francisco, the Igalia team:
OpenGL 4.0 to Ivybridge/Baytrail

Regards,
Emil

The candidate for the Mesa 17.0.2 is now available. Currently we have:
- 42 queued
- 3 nominated (outstanding)
- and 1 rejected patch(es)


Current queue consists predominantly of ANV and RADV fixes. The i965, nouveau
(nvc0) and radeons has also seen some Improvements. To top it up we have a
build fix for the clover (OpenCL) state-tracker.

The branch point is 1.5 days away. Double-check the code you want merged.

For people around the globe - you will have time to push your patches tomorrow.
The cut will be some time after 00:00 GMT, with a final notice on IRC
30-60 mins beforehand.

- OpenGL 4.2 support for Intel Ivy Bridge chips.
With this final piece the Intel i965 is on par (and even surpases) relative to
the Windows, MacOS and Android OpenGL drivers.

- The RADV driver passes the Khronos CTS, although there is no official
ratification as of yet.

- Shader on-disk cache. Improving the startup and shader compilation
times in some games.

- This release includes significant performance improvements for games by
Feral Interactive.

To thank contributors who had had at least 25 commits to Mesa in the past five
years, Feral Interactive are offering special Steam Keys granting free access
to their entire Linux repertoire!

Many thanks to Feral Interactive for the kind gesture! While that might not
help productivity, we all look forward to trying your fantastic games!
