This time, let's use proper Sphinx roles for the referenes, so we can
reference documents and inline refs.

Mesa 7.6 Release Notes, 28 September 2009
=========================================
Mesa 7.6 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
for Mesa 7.6.1.
Mesa 7.6 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
See the :doc:`Compiling/Installing page <../install>` for
prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.

New features
------------
- OpenVG front-end (state tracker for Gallium). This was written by
Zack Rusin at Tungsten Graphics.
- GL_ARB_vertex_array_object and GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object
extensions (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and
software drivers)
- GL_ARB_copy_buffer extension (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI
drivers, and software drivers)
- GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension (supported in Gallium drivers,
Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)
- GL_ARB_seamless_cube_map extension (supported in software drivers and
i965 drivers)
- GL_ARB_vertex_array_bgra (ARB synonym for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra)
- GL_ARB_sync (supported in software drivers and Intel DRI drivers)
- GL_EXT_provoking_vertex extension (supported in Gallium, i915, i965,
and software drivers)
- Rewritten radeon/r200/r300 driver using a buffer manager
- radeon/r200/r300 GL_EXT_framebuffer_object support when used with
kernel memory manager
- radeon/r200/r300 support for GL_ARB_occlusion_query
- r300 driver supports OpenGL 1.5
- r300 driver support for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_EXT_texture_sRGB
- i915/945 driver support for GL_ARB_point_sprite,
GL_EXT_stencil_two_side and GL_ATI_separate_stencil extensions
- Rewritten assembler for GL_ARB_vertex_program /
GL_ARB_fragment_program.
- Added configure --with-max-width=W, --with-max-height=H options to
specify max framebuffer, viewport size.
- Initial version of Gallium llvmpipe driver. This is a new driver
based on LLVM which makes exensive use of run-time code generation.
This is an "alpha" stage driver. See the
src/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe/README file for more information.
Bug fixes
---------
- i965 DRI driver fixes, including support for "unlimited" size
constant buffers (GLSL uniforms)
