docs: drop news in favour of the introduction as index-page
This kind of only makes sense once we have a separate home-page. But I
think this is a good way of showing why we should do this; Sphinx
doesn't support pagination, because it's not meant as a general-purpose
website framewrork. And for documentation, pagination is not really
something you need.
There's probably a lot more pages that should be moved into a separate
webpage, similar to this. In general, I think this should be done for
pages that don't relate to the source code too much, e.g isn't needed to
understand the code, or for instance explains how to get the source code.

This is a bug-fix -release. - -October 2, 2017 +Introduction +============ + +The Mesa project began as an open-source implementation of the +`OpenGL <https://www.opengl.org/>`__ specification - a system for +rendering interactive 3D graphics. + +Over the years the project has grown to implement more graphics APIs, +including `OpenGL ES <https://www.khronos.org/opengles/>`__ (versions 1, +2, 3), `OpenCL <https://www.khronos.org/opencl/>`__, +`OpenMAX <https://www.khronos.org/openmax/>`__, +`VDPAU <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU>`__, `VA +API <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Acceleration_API>`__, +`XvMC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Video_Motion_Compensation>`__ and +`Vulkan <https://www.khronos.org/vulkan/>`__. + +A variety of device drivers allows the Mesa libraries to be used in many +different environments ranging from software emulation to complete +hardware acceleration for modern GPUs. + +Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the `Direct Rendering +Infrastructure <https://dri.freedesktop.org/>`__ and +`X.org <https://x.org>`__ to provide OpenGL support on Linux, FreeBSD +and other operating systems. + +Project History --------------- -`Mesa 17.2.2 <relnotes/17.2.2.html>`__ is released. This is a bug-fix -release. - -September 25, 2017 ------------------- - -`Mesa 17.1.10 <relnotes/17.1.10.html>`__ is released. This is a bug-fix -release. +The Mesa project was originally started by Brian Paul. Here's a short +history of the project. -.. note:: +August, 1993: I begin working on Mesa in my spare time. The project has +no name at that point. I was simply interested in writing a simple 3D +graphics library that used the then-new OpenGL API. I was partially +inspired by the *VOGL* library which emulated a subset of IRIS GL. I had +been programming with IRIS GL since 1991. - It is anticipated that 17.1.10 will be the final release in the - 17.1 series. Users of 17.1 are encouraged to migrate to the 17.2 series - in order to obtain future fixes. +November 1994: I contact SGI to ask permission to distribute my +OpenGL-like graphics library on the internet. SGI was generally +receptive to the idea and after negotiations with SGI's legal +department, I get permission to release it. -September 17, 2017 ------------------- +February 1995: Mesa 1.0 is released on the internet. I expected that a +few people would be interested in it, but not thousands. I was soon +receiving patches, new features and thank-you notes on a daily basis. +That encouraged me to continue working on Mesa. The name Mesa just +popped into my head one day. SGI had asked me not to use the terms +*"Open"* or *"GL"* in the project name and I didn't want to make up a +new acronym. Later, I heard of the Mesa programming language and the +Mesa spreadsheet for NeXTStep. -`Mesa 17.2.1 <relnotes/17.2.1.html>`__ is released. This is a bug-fix -release. +In the early days, OpenGL wasn't available on too many systems. It even +took a while for SGI to support it across their product line. Mesa +filled a big hole during that time. For a lot of people, Mesa was their +first introduction to OpenGL. I think SGI recognized that Mesa actually +helped to promote the OpenGL API, so they didn't feel threatened by the +project. -September 8, 2017 ------------------ +1995-1996: I continue working on Mesa both during my spare time and +during my work hours at the Space Science and Engineering Center at the +University of Wisconsin in Madison. My supervisor, Bill Hibbard, lets me +do this because Mesa is now being using for the +`Vis5D <https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/%7Ebillh/vis.html>`__ project. -`Mesa 17.1.9 <relnotes/17.1.9.html>`__ is released. This is a bug-fix -release. +October 1996: Mesa 2.0 is released. It implements the OpenGL 1.1 +specification. -September 4, 2017 ------------------ - -`Mesa 17.2.0 <relnotes/17.2.0.html>`__ is released. This is a new -development release. See the release notes for more information about -the release. - -August 28, 2017 ---------------- - -`Mesa 17.1.8 <relnotes/17.1.8.html>`__ is released.

It's the first really popular +hardware OpenGL implementation for Linux. -`Mesa 17.1.6 <relnotes/17.1.6.html>`__ is released. This is a bug-fix -release. +September 1998: Mesa 3.0 is released. It's the first publicly-available +implementation of the OpenGL 1.2 API. -July 14, 2017 -------------- +March 1999: I attend my first OpenGL ARB meeting. I contribute to the +development of several official OpenGL extensions over the years. -`Mesa 17.1.5 <relnotes/17.1.5.html>`__ is released. This is a bug-fix -release. +September 1999: I'm hired by Precision Insight, Inc. Mesa is a key +component of 3D hardware acceleration in the new DRI project for +XFree86. Drivers for 3dfx, 3dLabs, Intel, Matrox and ATI hardware soon +follow. -June 30, 2017 -------------- +October 2001: Mesa 4.0 is released. It implements the OpenGL 1.3 +specification. -`Mesa 17.1.4 <relnotes/17.1.4.html>`__ is released. This is a bug-fix -release. +November 2001: I cofounded Tungsten Graphics, Inc. with Keith Whitwell, +Jens Owen, David Dawes and Frank LaMonica.

Here's a short -history of the project. - -August, 1993: I begin working on Mesa in my spare time. The project has -no name at that point. I was simply interested in writing a simple 3D -graphics library that used the then-new OpenGL API. I was partially -inspired by the *VOGL* library which emulated a subset of IRIS GL. I had -been programming with IRIS GL since 1991. - -November 1994: I contact SGI to ask permission to distribute my -OpenGL-like graphics library on the internet. SGI was generally -receptive to the idea and after negotiations with SGI's legal -department, I get permission to release it. - -February 1995: Mesa 1.0 is released on the internet. I expected that a -few people would be interested in it, but not thousands. I was soon -receiving patches, new features and thank-you notes on a daily basis. -That encouraged me to continue working on Mesa. The name Mesa just -popped into my head one day. SGI had asked me not to use the terms -*"Open"* or *"GL"* in the project name and I didn't want to make up a -new acronym. Later, I heard of the Mesa programming language and the -Mesa spreadsheet for NeXTStep. - -In the early days, OpenGL wasn't available on too many systems. It even -took a while for SGI to support it across their product line. Mesa -filled a big hole during that time. For a lot of people, Mesa was their -first introduction to OpenGL. I think SGI recognized that Mesa actually -helped to promote the OpenGL API, so they didn't feel threatened by the -project. - -1995-1996: I continue working on Mesa both during my spare time and -during my work hours at the Space Science and Engineering Center at the -University of Wisconsin in Madison. My supervisor, Bill Hibbard, lets me -do this because Mesa is now being using for the -`Vis5D <https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/%7Ebillh/vis.html>`__ project. - -October 1996: Mesa 2.0 is released. It implements the OpenGL 1.1 -specification. - -March 1997: Mesa 2.2 is released. It supports the new 3dfx Voodoo -graphics card via the Glide library. It's the first really popular -hardware OpenGL implementation for Linux. - -September 1998: Mesa 3.0 is released. It's the first publicly-available -implementation of the OpenGL 1.2 API. - -March 1999: I attend my first OpenGL ARB meeting. I contribute to the -development of several official OpenGL extensions over the years. - -September 1999: I'm hired by Precision Insight, Inc. Mesa is a key -component of 3D hardware acceleration in the new DRI project for -XFree86. Drivers for 3dfx, 3dLabs, Intel, Matrox and ATI hardware soon -follow. - -October 2001: Mesa 4.0 is released. It implements the OpenGL 1.3 -specification. - -November 2001: I cofounded Tungsten Graphics, Inc. with Keith Whitwell, -Jens Owen, David Dawes and Frank LaMonica. Tungsten Graphics was -acquired by VMware in December 2008. - -November 2002: Mesa 5.0 is released. It implements the OpenGL 1.4 -specification. - -January 2003: Mesa 6.0 is released. It implements the OpenGL 1.5 -specification as well as the GL_ARB_vertex_program and -GL_ARB_fragment_program extensions. - -June 2007: Mesa 7.0 is released, implementing the OpenGL 2.1 -specification and OpenGL Shading Language. - -2008: Keith Whitwell and other Tungsten Graphics employees develop -`Gallium <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium3D>`__ - a new GPU -abstraction layer. The latest Mesa drivers are based on Gallium and -other APIs such as OpenVG are implemented on top of Gallium. - -February 2012: Mesa 8.0 is released, implementing the OpenGL 3.0 -specification and version 1.30 of the OpenGL Shading Language. - -July 2016: Mesa 12.0 is released, including OpenGL 4.3 support and -initial support for Vulkan for Intel GPUs. Plus, there's another gallium -software driver ("swr") based on LLVM and developed by Intel. - -Ongoing: Mesa is the OpenGL implementation for devices designed by -Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Vivante, plus the VMware and -VirGL virtual GPUs. There's also several software-based renderers: -swrast (the legacy Mesa rasterizer), softpipe (a gallium reference -driver), llvmpipe (LLVM/JIT-based high-speed rasterizer) and swr -(another LLVM-based driver). - -Work continues on the drivers and core Mesa to implement newer versions -of the OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan specifications. - -Major Versions --------------- - -This is a summary of the major versions of Mesa.
