17<h1>Mesa 9.0 Release Notes / October 8, 2012</h1>
18
19<p>
20Mesa 9.0 is a new development release.
21People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
22with a previous release or wait for Mesa 9.0.1.
23</p>
24<p>
25Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by
26glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
27glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
28Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.1.  OpenGL
293.1 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation
30because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.
