The latest Mesa Git code is now under version Mesa 26.0-devel with the Mesa 25.3 code being branched overnight for what will become this quarter’s stable feature release.
Mesa 25.3 brings a lot of AMD RadeonSI/RADV, Intel ANV and Iris, and Nouveau/NVK changes as usual from new Vulkan API extensions to performance optimizations. There is also a lot of improvements still for the Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan driver, the PVR PowerVR Vulkan driver continued growing more capable, and a lot of improvements to the other smaller drivers. Plus the new Gallium driver for Arm Ethos NPUs and an assortment of other changes as highlighted across dozens of Phoronix articles over the past three months of feature development.
The latest mainline Mesa code is now tracking Mesa 26.0-devel with the Mesa 25.3 branch created. The Mesa 25.3-rc1 release candidate should be out soon.
Weekly release candidates of Mesa 25.3 are expected until the official release is ready — likely sometime in November depending upon how the release cycle plays out. Mesa 25.3 benchmarks soon on Phoronix.
