+ Mesa 6.5 Release Notes
New Features
------------
-GL_EXT_timer_query - used to get elapsed time information from the renderer.
-
-
-
-Driver Interface Changes
-------------------------
+OpenGL Shading language support
+ This includes the GL_ARB_shader_objects, GL_ARB_shading_language_100,
+ GL_ARB_vertex_shader and GL_ARB_fragment_shader extensions. Most of
+ the work was done by Michal Krol.
+ There's probably a fair number of bugs since this is a pretty large,
+ complicated body of code.
-Stencil: The Driver.StencilOp/Func/Mask() functions have been replaced by
-the two-sided versions: Driver.Stencil*Separate().
+ The OpenGL 2.0 interface to these features will be implemented in a
+ future version of Mesa,
+GL_EXT_timer_query
+ Used to measure the time of OpenGL operations at high precision.
+ Only supported in the software/Xlib driver at this time.
+GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil
+ Defines a new GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_EXT pixel format.
-To Do
------
-Fix linux-glide target/driver.
-Fix lambda calculation for frag progs.
+GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit
+ A simplified glCopyPixels-like feature for copying pixel rectangles.
+GL_ARB_half_float_pixel
+ Adds a new half-precision floating point format for image transfers,
+ such as for glDrawPixels, glReadPixels, glTexImage, etc.
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+Rendering to depth textures will not work. Rendering to GL_DEPTH_STENCIL
+textures should work.

+Driver Interface Changes
+------------------------
+
+Stencil: The Driver.StencilOp/Func/Mask() functions have been replaced by
+the two-sided versions: Driver.Stencil*Separate().
+
+Render-to-texture: The functions for rendering to textures have changed.

+
To Do (someday) items
---------------------
Switch to freeglut
Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
-
+ Fix linux-glide target/driver.
+ Fix lambda calculation for frag progs.
Driver Status
---------------------- ----------------------
DRI drivers varies with the driver
-XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.5
+XMesa/GLX (on Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.5
OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.5
Glide (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3
SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3
