  11 <H1>Mesa 7.3 Release Notes / 22 January 2009</H1>
  12
  13 <p>
  14 Mesa 7.3 is a new development release.
  15 Users especially concerned with stability should stick with latest
  16 stable release: version 7.2.
  17 </p>
  18 <p>
  19 Mesa 7.3 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
  20 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
  21 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
  22 </p>

  24 See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
  25 for DRI ardware acceleration.
