1 2 Mesa 4.0.2 release notes 3 4 March 25, 2002 5 6 PLEASE READ!!!! 7 8 9 10Introduction 11------------ 12 13Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. 14Odd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases. 15Even numbered versions (such as 3.4) designate stable releases. 16 17Mesa 4.0.2 only contains bug fixes and a new DOS driver since version 4.0.1. 18 19See the docs/VERSIONS file for the list of bug fixes. 20 21 22Device Drivers 23-------------- 24 25Mesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on the 26device driver. If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part 27of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3". Otherwise, 28it'll return "1.2". 29 30A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for 31some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers. 32Here's the current status of all included drivers: 33 34Driver Status 35---------------------- --------------------- 36XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.3 37OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.3 38FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 39SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 40Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 41Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.3 42DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 (new in Mesa 4.0.2) 43GGI needs updating 44BeOS needs updating 45Allegro needs updating 46D3D needs updating 47 48 49---------------------------------------------------------------------- 50
