+Starting with the first release of 2017, Mesa's version scheme is
+year-based. Filenames are in the form <tt>mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz</tt>, where
+<tt>Y</tt> is the year (two digits), <tt>N</tt> is an incremental number
+(starting at 0) and <tt>P</tt> is the patch number (0 for the first
+release, 1 for the first patch after that).
