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.

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:
