Valve have now put up their patched branch of Mesa that they use for SteamOS on github for all to see.
Apparently they haven't actually done much (see a comparison here), still it is good to see them keep up with open-source. I guess this is really just to shield them from upstream regressions while still using recent versions of Mesa.
What is Mesa?
Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics. So, it's quite important of course.
Not exactly big news, but interesting nonetheless. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
