Mesa 6.0.1 release notes
April 2, 2003
Introduction
------------
Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
Even-numbered versions (such as 6.0.x) designate stable releases.
Odd-numbered versions (such as 6.1.x) designate new developmental releases.
Mesa 6.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 6.0 release. See the VERSIONS
file for details.
Device Drivers
--------------
Mesa advertises itself as supporting OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5
depending on the device driver's capabilities. For example, if the
driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.5
then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.5". Otherwise, it'll
return "1.4" or the next lower version that implements all required
functionality.
A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers.
Here's the current status of all included drivers:
