  13 <H1>Mesa 7.12 Release Notes / (release date TBD)</H1>
  14
  15 <p>
  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.
  19 </p>
  20 <p>
  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 <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
  27 for DRI hardware acceleration.

  54 <h2>Changes</h2>
  55 <ul>
  56 <li>Removed all DRI drivers that did not support DRI2.  Specifically,
  57   i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome were
  58   removed.</li>
  59 <li>Removed support for BeOS.</li>
  60 <li>Removed the obsolete (and unmaintained) Windows "gldirect" and
  61   "ICD" drivers.</li>
  62 <li>Removed the linux-fbdev software driver.</li>
  63 <li>Removed all remnants of paletted texture support.  As required by
  64   desktop OpenGL, <tt>GL_COLOR_INDEX</tt> data can still be uploaded
  65   to a color (e.g., RGBA) texture.  However, the data cannot be stored
  66   internally as color-index.</li>
  67 <li>Removed support for GL_APPLE_client_storage extension.
  68 </ul>
