Mesa 26.2 Released With NVK Mesh Shader Support, Many Other Vulkan Improvements Written by Michael Larabel in Mesa on 5 August 2026 at 06:13 PM EDT. Add A Comment Mesa 26.2 stable is now available as the newest quarterly feature release for this set of open-source OpenGL and Vulkan drivers typically used on Linux systems. Mesa 26.2 is another splendid feature update for these open-source user-space 3D drivers, especially on the Vulkan API side where much of the activity is typically focused but also still seeing good progress for Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan as well as Rusticl for OpenCL on Gallium3D.
