  10 <h1>Mesa 8.1 Release Notes / date TBD</h1>
  11
  12 <p>
  13 Mesa 8.1 is a new development release.
  14 </p>
  15 <p>
  16 Mesa 8.1 implements the OpenGL 3.0 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 3.0.
