11 <H1>Mesa
7.7 Release Notes / date TBD
</H1>
14 Mesa
7.7 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
7.7.1.
19 Mesa
7.7 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

"install.html">Compiling/Installing page
</a> for prerequisites
25 for DRI hardware acceleration.

37 <li>VMware
"SVGA" Gallium driver. This is a Gallium3D driver which targets the
38 VMware virtual graphics device. It allows Linux OpenGL guest applications
39 to utilize the
3D graphics hardware of the host operating system.
40 <li>GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex (supported in Intel i965 and software drivers)
</li>
41 <li>GL_ARB_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)
</li>
42 <li>GL_NV_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)
</li>
43 <li>GL_ARB_provoking_vertex (same as GL_EXT_provoking_vertex)
</li>
44 <li>Wavefront .obj file loader/viewer demo (progs/demos/objviewer)
50 <li>Many assorted i965 driver fixes.
51 <li>Many r300-gallium driver fixes; this driver is now considered unstable-quality instead of experimental-quality.
57 <li>New Mesa texture/surface format infrastructure
58 <li>Removed some unused Mesa device driver hooks
