With many fixes having landed, Mesa 9.2.1 was released on Friday along with Mesa 9.1.7 for providing improvements to the Linux OpenGL graphics drivers.

Among the bugs that have been fixed in the first Mesa 9.2 stable point release include memory errors in Mesa spotted by Valgrind, Unigine crashes, some Piglit issues, and other changes.
