8Introduction
9------------
10
11Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
12Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0.x) designate stable releases.
13Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1.x) designate new developmental releases.
14
15Mesa 5.0.2 just fixes bugs found since the 5.0.1 release.  See the VERSIONS
16file for details.

19Device Driver Status
20--------------------
21
22A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
23some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
24Here's the current status of all included drivers:

27Driver			Status
28----------------------	---------------------
29XMesa (Xlib)		implements OpenGL 1.4
30OSMesa (off-screen)	implements OpenGL 1.4
31FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2)	implements OpenGL 1.3
32SVGA			implements OpenGL 1.3
33Wind River UGL		implements OpenGL 1.3
34Windows/Win32		implements OpenGL 1.4
35DJGPP			implements OpenGL 1.4
36GGI			implements OpenGL 1.3
37BeOS			implements OpenGL 1.4
38Allegro			needs updating
39D3D			needs updating
40
41Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
42driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
