13 <H1>Mesa
7.12 Release Notes / (release date TBD)
</H1>
16 Mesa
7.12 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
7.12.1.
21 Mesa
7.12 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.
26 See the
