+<h2>Adding Extentions</h2>
<p>
To add a new GL extension to Mesa you have to do at least the following.
-<H2>Coding Style</H2>
+<h2>Coding Style</h2>
<p>
Mesa's code style has changed over the years. Here's the latest.
_mesa_foo_bar() - an internal non-static Mesa function
</pre>
+<p>
+Places that are not directly visible to the GL API should prefer the use
+of <tt>bool</tt>, <tt>true</tt>, and
+<tt>false</tt> over <tt>GLboolean</tt>, <tt>GL_TRUE</tt>, and
+<tt>GL_FALSE</tt>. In C code, this may mean that
+<tt>#include <stdbool.h></tt> needs to be added. The
+<tt>try_emit_</tt>* methods in src/mesa/program/ir_to_mesa.cpp and
+src/mesa/state_tracker/st_glsl_to_tgsi.cpp can serve as examples.

-<H2>Making a New Mesa Release</H2>
+<h2>Making a New Mesa Release</h2>
<p>
These are the instructions for making a new Mesa release.
</p>
-<H3>Get latest source files</H3>
+<h3>Get latest source files</h3>
<p>
Use git to get the latest Mesa files from the git repository, from whatever
branch is relevant.
</p>
-<H3>Verify and update version info</H3>
-<p>
-Create/edit the docs/relnotes-x.y.html file to document what's new in the release.
-Add the new relnotes-x.y.html file to <a href="relnotes.html">relnotes.html</a>.
-</p>
+<h3>Verify and update version info</h3>
-<p>
-Update the MESA_MAJOR, MESA_MINOR and MESA_TINY version numbers in
-configs/default.
-Also update the VERSION line in the top-level Makefile.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Make sure the values in src/mesa/main/version.h are correct.
-</p>
+<dl>
+ <dt>configs/default</dt>
+ <dd>MESA_MAJOR, MESA_MINOR and MESA_TINY</dd>
+ <dt>Makefile.am</dt>
+ <dd>PACKAGE_VERSION</dd>
+ <dt>configure.ac</dt>
+ <dd>AC_INIT</dd>
+ <dt>src/mesa/main/version.h</dt>
+ <dd>MESA_MAJOR, MESA_MINOR, MESA_PATCH and MESA_VERSION_STRING</dd>
+</dl>
<p>
-Update docs/news.html.
+Create a docs/relnotes-x.y.z.html file.
+The bin/shortlog_mesa.sh script can be used to create a HTML-formatted list
+of changes to include in the file.
+Link the new docs/relnotes-x.y.z.html file into the main <a href="relnotes.html">relnotes.html</a> file.
</p>
<p>
-Check in all updates to git.
+Update <a href="index.html">docs/index.html</a>.
</p>
<p>
-Tag the files with the release name (in the form <b>mesa_X_Y</b>)
-with: <code>git tag -a mesa_X_Y</code>
-Then: <code>git push origin mesa_X_Y</code>
+Tag the files with the release name (in the form <b>mesa-x.y</b>)
+with: <code>git tag -a mesa-x.y</code>
+Then: <code>git push origin mesa-x.y</code>
</p>
-<H3>Make the tarballs</H3>
+<h3>Make the tarballs</h3>
<p>
Make the distribution files. From inside the Mesa directory:
<pre>
<p>
After the tarballs are created, the md5 checksums for the files will
be computed.
-Add them to the docs/relnotes-X.Y.html file.
+Add them to the docs/relnotes-x.y.html file.
</p>
<p>
compile everything, and run some demos to be sure everything works.
</p>
-<H3>Update the website and announce the release</H3>
+<h3>Update the website and announce the release</h3>
<p>
Follow the directions on SourceForge for creating a new "release" and
