7.8.1 Release Notes / April,
5,
2010</H1>
14 Mesa
7.8.1 fixes a couple critical bugs in the recent Mesa
7.8 release. Even
15 though this is a bug fix release, given its proximity to the
7.8 release, a
16 new development release, it should also be considered new development release.
17 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
18 with a previous release, such as
7.7.1, or wait for Mesa
7.8.2.
21 Mesa
7.8.1 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
