+<h2>Downloading</h2>
+
+<p>

-target="_parent">freedesktop.org</a> (FTP)
+Starting with the first release of 2017, Mesa's version scheme is
+year-based. Filenames are in the form <code>mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz</code>, where
+<code>Y</code> is the year (two digits), <code>N</code> is an incremental number
+(starting at 0) and <code>P</code> is the patch number (0 for the first
+release, 1 for the first patch after that).

<p>
When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) may be found
-<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/beta/" target="_parent">here</a>.
+in the same directory, and are recognisable by the
+<code>mesa-Y.N.P-<b>rc</b>X.tar.gz</code> filename.

Mesa releases. But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they
were split off into their own git repositories:
