  13 <H1>Mesa 7.11 Release Notes / (release date TBD)</H1>
  14
  15 <p>
  16 Mesa 7.11 is a new development release.
  17 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
  18 with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.11.1.
  19 </p>
  20 <p>
  21 Mesa 7.11 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
  22 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
  23 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
  24 </p>
  25 <p>
  26 See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
  27 for DRI hardware acceleration.

  68 <ul>
  69 <li>The Windows MSVC project files have been removed.
  70 They haven't been maintained in quite a while.
  71 Building with SCons is an alternative.
  72 <li>Removed GL_SGI_texture_color_table support from swrast driver - the only
  73 driver that implemented it.
