7.8.3 Release Notes / (date tbd)
</h1>
13 Mesa
7.8.3 is a bug fix release which fixes bugs found since the
7.8.2 release.

7.8.3 implements the OpenGL
2.1 API, but the version reported by
17 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
18 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
2.1.
