Mineshaft is a tough but unique Tetris-like with crafting and mining for gems

Mesa 25.0.6 released with AMD GPU fixes for DOOM: The Dark Ages on Linux

It would end up in Mesa 25.1.1 but unclear actually when that will arrive, the Mesa release calendar currently seems to have the wrong dates currently. I think it will be May 21st.

Edit: spoke to Eric Engestrom (release manager) and the calendar has been corrected, so yep it’s due May 21st.
