It was in August that Intel finally became conformant to OpenGL ES 2.0 - a five-year-old specification at the time - while just a half-year after OpenGL ES 3.0, the Intel Mesa stack is now conformant with the industry graphics standard.
OpenGL ES 3.0 support is merged into Mesa for the 9.1 release due out later this month and Intel tested this code in conjunction with the Linux 3.6 kernel for their conformance results. Last week I wrote that Intel hoped Mesa 9.1 would be OpenGL ES 3.0 conformant and they had submitted their driver results to the Khronos Group. Normally the results need to go through a 30-day review period, but it turns out that Khronos is ratifying the results early.
