   9 (Silicon Graphics, Inc. Sample Implementation of the OpenGL Utility library)
  10
  11 <p>
  12 SGI open-sourced their OpenGL Sample Implementation (SI) in January, 2000.
  13 This includes the GLU library.
  14 </p>
  15
  16 <p>
  17 The SI GLU library implements GLU version 1.3 whereas the original
  18 Mesa GLU library only implemented version 1.2.
  19 We recommend using the SI GLU library instead of Mesa's GLU library
  20 since it's more up-to-date, complete and reliable.
  21 We're no longer developing the original Mesa GLU library.
  22 </p>
  23
  24 <p>
  25 The new SI GLU library code is included in the Mesa package.
  26 You don't have to download it separately.
