Mesa 26.2.2 has been released, comprising approximately 70 commits from 35 contributors, with a focus on stabilizing the active development branch and enhancing Post Copy Optimization (PCO) for shader optimization across various GPU drivers. The update includes significant fixes for Qualcomm Adreno through the Tu driver, as well as AMD coherency issues for RDNA 4 and 5, improving overall performance and stability. Additionally, video decoding capabilities for HEVC streams on Radeon hardware have been upgraded, addressing playback sync issues with H.265 content. This release prioritizes stability and refinement rather than introducing new features, and users who prefer a stable version can opt for the 26.1.x branch, while the next point release is scheduled for September 16
