  10 Introduction
  11 ------------
  12
  13 Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
  14 Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases.
  15 Odd-numbered versions (such as 5.1) designate new developmental releases.

  18 New Features in Mesa 5.1
  19 ------------------------
  20
  21 GL_ATI_texture_env_combine3 extension
  22    This adds a few new texture combine modes.
  23    Contributed by Ian Romanick.
  24
  25 GL_SGI_texture_color_table
  26    Adds a color table lookup to the RGBA texture path.  There's a separate
  27    color table for each texture unit.
  28    Contributed by Eric Plante.

  31 Device Driver Status
  32 --------------------
  33
  34 A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
  35 some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
  36 Here's the current status of all included drivers:

  39 Driver                  Status
  40 ----------------------  ---------------------
  41 XMesa (Xlib)            implements OpenGL 1.4
  42 OSMesa (off-screen)     implements OpenGL 1.4
  43 FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2)     implements OpenGL 1.3
  44 SVGA                    implements OpenGL 1.3
  45 Wind River UGL          implements OpenGL 1.3
  46 Windows/Win32           implements OpenGL 1.4
  47 DOS/DJGPP               implements OpenGL 1.3
  48 GGI                     implements OpenGL 1.3
  49 DOS                     implements OpenGL 1.4
  50 BeOS                    needs updating (underway)
  51 Allegro                 needs updating
  52 D3D                     needs updating
  53
  54 Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
  55 driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
