+ Mesa 6.4 Release Notes
+
+ October 24, 2005
+
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Odd numbered versions (such as 6.3) designate new developmental releases.
+Even numbered versions (such as 6.4) designate stable releases.
+
+
+6.4 is a bug-fix release. See the VERSIONS file for details.
+
+
+
+GLUT tarball
+------------
+
+Starting with 6.4, the GLUT library sources are distributed in a separate
+tarball. This was done at the request of Linux distro vendors who prefer
+to use freeglut.
+
+
+
+
+Driver Status
+---------------------- ----------------------
+DRI drivers varies with the driver
+XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.5
+OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.5
+Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.5
+Glide (3dfx Voodoo1/2) requires updates
+SVGA requires updates
+DJGPP requires updates
+GGI requires updates
+BeOS requires updates
+Allegro requires updates
+D3D requires updates
+
+The drivers which require updates mostly need to be updated to work
+with the new gl_renderbuffer / gl_framebuffer infrastructure introduced
+in Mesa 6.3.
+

New:
+ - GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil extension
+ - GL_EXT_timer_query extension
- reflect demo improved to support multiple windows
- singlebuffer demo (shows no/little-flicker single-buffered rendering)
- r200: enable GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar, separate the texture
sampling unit bits from the texture env combine enable bits
- - GL_EXT_timer_query extension
- r200: add support for GL_ATI_fragment_shader
- added fast XOR-mode line drawing optimization
- radeon: add support for all 3 tmus, GL_ARB_texture_cube_map
