+<h1>Mesa 7.6 Release Notes, 28 September 2009</h1>
+
+<p>
+Mesa 7.6 is a new development release.
+People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
+with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.6.1.
+</p>
+<p>
+Mesa 7.6 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
+glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
+Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
+</p>
+<p>
+See the <a href="../install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
+for DRI hardware acceleration.

+<h2>New features</h2>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="../openvg.html">OpenVG</a> front-end (state tracker for Gallium).
+This was written by Zack Rusin at Tungsten Graphics.
+<li>GL_ARB_vertex_array_object and GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object extensions
+ (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)</li>
+<li>GL_ARB_copy_buffer extension
+ (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)</li>
+<li>GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension
+ (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)</li>
+<li>GL_ARB_seamless_cube_map extension
+ (supported in software drivers and i965 drivers)</li>
+<li>GL_ARB_vertex_array_bgra (ARB synonym for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra)</li>
+<li>GL_ARB_sync (supported in software drivers and Intel DRI drivers)</li>
+<li>GL_EXT_provoking_vertex extension (supported in Gallium, i915, i965, and software drivers)
+<li>Rewritten radeon/r200/r300 driver using a buffer manager
+<li>radeon/r200/r300 GL_EXT_framebuffer_object support when used with
+ kernel memory manager
+<li>radeon/r200/r300 support for GL_ARB_occlusion_query</li>
+<li>r300 driver supports OpenGL 1.5</li>
+<li>r300 driver support for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_EXT_texture_sRGB
+<li>i915/945 driver support for GL_ARB_point_sprite, GL_EXT_stencil_two_side
+ and GL_ATI_separate_stencil extensions
+<li>Rewritten assembler for GL_ARB_vertex_program /
+ GL_ARB_fragment_program.</li>
+<li>Added configure --with-max-width=W, --with-max-height=H options to specify
+ max framebuffer, viewport size.
+<li>Initial version of Gallium llvmpipe driver. This is a new driver based
+ on LLVM which makes exensive use of run-time code generation. This is
+ an "alpha" stage driver. See the src/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe/README
+ file for more information.

+ buffers (GLSL uniforms)
+</ul>
