New blog post: PanVK Extension Sprint - Mesa 26.1 🚀

18 Vulkan extensions landed in PanVK for Mesa 26.1 - the open-source Vulkan driver for Arm Mali GPUs. Covering the Proton stack essentials (DXVK, vkd3d-proton), DDK feature parity, and closing gaps on mesamatrix.

From VK_EXT_conditional_rendering to VK_EXT_nested_command_buffer - each one pulls PanVK closer to "throw a DXVK game at it and it just works."

New blog post: My first Vulkan extension!

As part of my work at @Igalia, I implemented VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced for Mesa -
first for Honeykrisp (Apple Silicon) and then for lavapipe.
