Mesa 26.0.2 is now available as the latest bi-weekly stable point release for this set of open-source graphics drivers predominantly used on Linux systems.

There is a wide assortment of different bug fixes in Mesa 26.0.2. No particularly big fixes stand out with this point release but a lot of small changes, such as:

- Several Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan driver fixes.

- A few Intel ANV Vulkan driver fixes

- A DriConf workaround for the game No Man's Sky with the NVK NVIDIA Vulkan driver.

- The old Radeon R300g and R600g driver have seen a few minor fixes.

- The RADV Vulkan driver has seen a few fixes for a possible GPU hang, fixing copying images with different swizzle modes on SDMA7, missing L2 cache invalidation around Stream-Out on RDNA4/GFX12, and other minor fixes.

- A GLSL workaround for fixing OpenGL rendering with MDK2 HD:
