17 <h1>Mesa
9.0 Release Notes / October
8,
2012</h1>
20 Mesa
9.0 is a new development release.
21 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
22 with a previous release or wait for Mesa
9.0.1.
25 Mesa
9.0 implements the OpenGL
3.1 API, but the version reported by
26 glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
27 glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
28 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
3.1. OpenGL
29 3.1 is
<strong>only
</strong> available if requested at context creation
30 because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.

</li>
91 <li>Removed Gallium3D - nvfx driver (use nv30 instead)
</li>
93 libGLU has been moved into its own repository, found at
