  17 <h1>Mesa 7.8 Release Notes / March 28, 2010</h1>
  18
  19 <p>
  20 Mesa 7.8 is a new development release.
  21 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
  22 with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.8.1.
  23 </p>
  24 <p>
  25 Mesa 7.8 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
  26 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
  27 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
  28 </p>

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