8Introduction
9------------
10
11Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
12Even-numbered versions (such as 6.0.x) designate stable releases.
13Odd-numbered versions (such as 6.1.x) designate new developmental releases.
14
15Mesa 6.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 6.0 release.  See the VERSIONS
16file for details.

20Device Drivers
21--------------
22
23Mesa advertises itself as supporting OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5
24depending on the device driver's capabilities.  For example, if the
25driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.5
26then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.5".  Otherwise, it'll
27return "1.4" or the next lower version that implements all required
28functionality.

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:
