# Mesa 18.0.0 Release Notes / March 27 2018

Mesa 18.0.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 18.0.1.

Mesa 18.0.0 implements the OpenGL 4.5 API, but the version reported by glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) / glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. Some drivers don’t support all the features required in OpenGL 4.5. OpenGL 4.5 is only available if requested at context creation because compatibility contexts are not supported.

## New features

Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers.

- Disk shader cache support for i965 when MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DISABLE environment variable is set to “0” or “false”

- GL_ARB_shader_atomic_counters and GL_ARB_shader_atomic_counter_ops on r600/evergreen+

- GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store and GL_ARB_shader_image_size on r600/evergreen+

- GL_ARB_shader_storage_buffer_object on r600/evergreen+

- GL_ARB_compute_shader on r600/evergreen+
