Good news for those of you using an AMD GPU, as Mesa with radeonsi now has support for compatibility profiles up to OpenGL 4.4.

Why is it important to have this? To put it simply, there's a few games out there that required it and wouldn't run without it. It's another tick in the box for getting the best experience possible for those with an AMD GPU using open source graphics drivers on Linux.

Going by what the developer said, this in particular helps with games like Doom and Wolfenstein run in Wine. It's also something that should hopefully help to fix Dying Light, Dead Island Definitive Edition, Grand Ages: Medieval, Black Mesa and probably quite a few more that required it.

It's currently only in Mesa-git, the development version, meaning it should hopefully make the Mesa 18.2 release. The first RC of Mesa 18.2 is expected around July 20th, with a release due in August going by their release calendar.

Thanks for the tip, mirv.
