+ Mesa 5.0 release notes
+
+ November 13, 2002
+
+ PLEASE READ!!!!
+
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases.
+Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1) designate new developmental releases.
+
+Mesa 5.0 is basically just a stabilization of Mesa 4.1. To see a list of
+bug fixes, etc. see the VERSIONS file.
+
+
+
+New Features in Mesa 5.0
+------------------------
+
+Mesa 5.0 supports OpenGL 1.4. Note Mesa's versioning convention:
+
+ OpenGL Version Mesa Version
+ ------------------------------
+ 1.0 1.x
+ 1.1 2.x
+ 1.2 3.x
+ 1.3 4.x
+ 1.4 5.x
+
+OpenGL 1.4 (and Mesa 5.0) incorporates the following OpenGL extensions as
+standard features:
+
+ GL_ARB_depth_texture
+ GL_ARB_shadow
+ GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar
+ GL_ARB_texture_mirror_repeat
+ GL_ARB_window_pos
+ GL_EXT_blend_color
+ GL_EXT_blend_func_separate
+ GL_EXT_blend_logic_op
+ GL_EXT_blend_minmax
+ GL_EXT_blend_subtract
+ GL_EXT_fog_coord
+ GL_EXT_multi_draw_arrays
+ GL_EXT_point_parameters
+ GL_EXT_secondary_color
+ GL_EXT_stencil_wrap
+ GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap
+
+
+
+Device Driver Status
+--------------------
+
+A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
+some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
+Here's the current status of all included drivers:
+
+
+Driver Status
+---------------------- ---------------------
+XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4
+OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4
+FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3
+SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3
+Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3
+Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4
+DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3
+GGI implements OpenGL 1.3
+DOS implements OpenGL 1.4
+BeOS needs updating (underway)
+Allegro needs updating
+D3D needs updating
+
+Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
+driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
