  11 <H1>Mesa 7.6 Release Notes / date TBD</H1>
  12
  13 <p>
  14 Mesa 7.6 is a new development release.
  15 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
  16 with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.6.1.
  17 </p>
  18 <p>
  19 Mesa 7.6 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.

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

  36 <ul>
  37 <li><a href="openvg.html">OpenVG</a> front-end (state tracker for Gallium).
  38 This was written by Zack Rusin at Tungsten Graphics.
  39 <li>GL_ARB_vertex_array_object and GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object extensions
  40     (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)</li>
  41 <li>GL_ARB_copy_buffer extension
  42     (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)</li>
  43 <li>GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension
  44     (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)</li>
  45 <li>GL_ARB_seamless_cube_map extension
  46     (supported in software drivers and i965 drivers)</li>
  47 <li>GL_ARB_vertex_array_bgra (ARB synonym for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra)</li>
  48 <li>GL_ARB_sync (supported in software drivers and Intel DRI drivers)</li>
  49 <li>GL_EXT_provoking_vertex extension (supported in Gallium, i915, i965, and software drivers)
  50 <li>Rewritten radeon/r200/r300 driver using a buffer manager
  51 <li>radeon/r200/r300 GL_EXT_framebuffer_object support when used with
  52     kernel memory manager
  53 <li>radeon/r200/r300 support for GL_ARB_occlusion_query</li>
  54 <li>r300 driver supports OpenGL 1.5</li>
  55 <li>r300 driver support for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_EXT_texture_sRGB
  56 <li>i915/945 driver support for GL_ARB_point_sprite, GL_EXT_stencil_two_side
  57     and GL_ATI_separate_stencil extensions
  58 <li>Rewritten assembler for GL_ARB_vertex_program /
  59     GL_ARB_fragment_program.</li>
  60 <li>Added configure --with-max-width=W, --with-max-height=H options to specify
  61     max framebuffer, viewport size.
  62 <li>Initial version of Gallium llvmpipe driver.  This is a new driver based
  63     on LLVM which makes exensive use of run-time code generation.  This is
  64     an "alpha" stage driver.  See the src/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe/README
  65     file for more information.
  66 </ul>
