Mesa 7.3 Release Notes / 22 January 2009
========================================

Mesa 7.3 is a new development release. Users especially concerned with
stability should stick with latest stable release: version 7.2.

Mesa 7.3 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.

See the `Compiling/Installing page <../install.html>`__ for
prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.
