A stabilization of the 5.1 development release - 2. Implementation of the OpenGL 1.5 specification. When you query - glGetString(GL_VERSION) "1.5" will be returned (as long as the - driver supports all the required features). - - -Note that the Mesa major version number is incremented with the OpenGL -minor version number: - - Mesa 1.x == OpenGL 1.0 - Mesa 2.x == OpenGL 1.1 - Mesa 3.x == OpenGL 1.2 - Mesa 4.x == OpenGL 1.3 - Mesa 5.x == OpenGL 1.4 - Mesa 6.x == OpenGL 1.5 - - - -New Features ------------- - -Mesa 5.1 already had all the new features of OpenGL 1.5, implemented as -extensions. These extensions were simply promoted to standard features: - - GL_ARB_occlusion_query extension - GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two extension - GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object extension - GL_EXT_shadow_funcs - - - -Device Drivers --------------- - -Mesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on -the device driver. For example, if the driver enables all the ARB -extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) -will return "1.3". Otherwise, it'll return "1.2". - -A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for -some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers. -Here's the current status of all included drivers: - - -Driver Status ----------------------- --------------------- -XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.5 -OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.5 -FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 -SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 -Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 -Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.5 -DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.5 -GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 -BeOS implements OpenGL 1.5 -Allegro needs updating -D3D needs updating - - - - -Other Changes -------------- - -See the VERSIONS file for more details about bug fixes, etc. in Mesa 6.0. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
