The Mesa team just released bug fix updates to the two most recent driver series with Mesa 24.2.1 and Mesa 24.1.7 now available.

For the Mesa 24.1 series, this marks the end of updates for it as confirmed in the mailing list announcement. So you're encouraged to now update to the 24.2 for continued support. The Mesa team generally tell people to wait for the first point release in the next series to upgrade, and now it's out with Mesa 24.2.1 so you should be good to go.

  • Once human black artifacts consume the screen.
  • [ANV] Breaking Limit benchmark does not run.

So, these black artifacts that were once human . . . does the fix return them to their original human form or just kill them or something? Or do they remain black artifacts but lose their unnatural hunger to consume the screen?
