1 2 Mesa 5.0 release notes 3 4 November 13, 2002 5 6 PLEASE READ!!!! 7 8 9 10Introduction 11------------ 12 13Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. 14Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases. 15Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1) designate new developmental releases. 16 17Mesa 5.0 is basically just a stabilization of Mesa 4.1. To see a list of 18bug fixes, etc. see the VERSIONS file. 19 20 21 22New Features in Mesa 5.0 23------------------------ 24 25Mesa 5.0 supports OpenGL 1.4. Note Mesa's versioning convention: 26 27 OpenGL Version Mesa Version 28 ------------------------------ 29 1.0 1.x 30 1.1 2.x 31 1.2 3.x 32 1.3 4.x 33 1.4 5.x 34 35OpenGL 1.4 (and Mesa 5.0) incorporates the following OpenGL extensions as 36standard features: 37 38 GL_ARB_depth_texture 39 GL_ARB_shadow 40 GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar 41 GL_ARB_texture_mirror_repeat 42 GL_ARB_window_pos 43 GL_EXT_blend_color 44 GL_EXT_blend_func_separate 45 GL_EXT_blend_logic_op 46 GL_EXT_blend_minmax 47 GL_EXT_blend_subtract 48 GL_EXT_fog_coord 49 GL_EXT_multi_draw_arrays 50 GL_EXT_point_parameters 51 GL_EXT_secondary_color 52 GL_EXT_stencil_wrap 53 GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap 54 55 56 57Device Driver Status 58-------------------- 59 60A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for 61some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers. 62Here's the current status of all included drivers: 63 64 65Driver Status 66---------------------- --------------------- 67XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4 68OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4 69FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 70SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 71Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 72Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4 73DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 74GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 75DOS implements OpenGL 1.4 76BeOS needs updating (underway) 77Allegro needs updating 78D3D needs updating 79 80Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the 81driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function. 82 83 84---------------------------------------------------------------------- 85
