+3. Read/Draw Buffer changes
+
+ The business of setting the current read/draw buffers in Mesa 4.0.x
+ was complicated. It's much simpler now in Mesa 4.1.
+
+ Here are the changes:
+
+ - Rename ctx->Color.DrawDestMask to ctx->Color._DrawDestMask
+ - Rename ctx->Color.DriverDrawBuffer to ctx->Color._DriverDrawBuffer
+ - Rename ctx->Pixel.DriverReadBuffer to ctx->Pixel._DriverReadBuffer
+ - Removed ctx->Color.MultiDrawBuffer
+ - Removed ctx->Driver.SetDrawBuffer
+ - Added ctx->Driver.DrawBuffer and ctx->Driver.ReadBuffer. These functions
+ exactly correspond to glDrawBuffer and glReadBuffer calls.
+ Many drivers will set ctx->Driver.DrawBuffer = _swrast_DrawBuffer and
+ leave ctx->Draw.ReadBuffer NULL.
+ DRI drivers should implement their own function for ctx->Driver.DrawBuffer
+ and use it to set the current hardware drawing buffer. You'll probably
+ also want to check for GL_FRONT_AND_BACK mode and fall back to software.
+ Call _swrast_DrawBuffer() too, to update the swrast state.
+ - Removed swrast->Driver.SetReadBuffer
+ - Added swrast->Driver.SetBuffer. This function should be implemented by
+ _all_ device drivers. Mesa will call it to specify the buffer to use
+ for span reading AND writing and point/line/triangle rendering. There
+ should be no confusion between current read or draw buffer anymore.
