+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Odd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases.
+Even numbered versions (such as 3.2.1) designate stable releases.
+
+Mesa 3.3 has a undergone many internal changes since version 3.2
+and features a lot of new extensions.  3.3 is expected to be pretty
+stable, but perhaps not as stable as 3.2 which has been used by
+thousands of users over the past months.
+
+Everyone is encouraged to try Mesa 3.3.  Bugs should be reported to
+the Mesa bug database on www.sourceforge.net.

+OpenGL Conformance
+------------------
+
+Mesa now passes all the OpenGL 1.1 conformance tests, except for
+antialiased lines.  AA lines fail on some, but not all, the tests.
+In order to fix the remaining failures, a new AA line algorithm will
+be needed (which computes coverage values for end-point fragments).
+This will be done for Mesa 3.5/3.6.

+OpenGL 1.2 GL_ARB_imaging subset
+--------------------------------
+
+Mesa 3.3 implements all the features of GL_ARB_imaging except for
+image convolution.  This will (hopefully) be done for Mesa 3.5/3.6.
