Open-source graphics driver development gains momentum with new hires and expanded support.
Progress on NVK, the open source NVIDIA Vulkan driver developed by the community, is going well with support for Maxwell and Kepler GPUs, geometry, tessellation, and transform feedback, and more extensions. However, it's not yet passing the conformance tests and there's no timeline for when it will be upstreamed into Mesa directly. Work is ongoing on a new back-end compiler for NVIDIA hardware, and performance issues still need to be addressed.
