+                      Mesa 6.0.1 release notes
+
+                           April 2, 2003

+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Even-numbered versions (such as 6.0.x) designate stable releases.
+Odd-numbered versions (such as 6.1.x) designate new developmental releases.
+
+Mesa 6.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 6.0 release.  See the VERSIONS
+file for details.
+
+
+
+Device Drivers
+--------------
+
+Mesa advertises itself as supporting OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5
+depending on the device driver's capabilities.  For example, if the
+driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.5
+then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.5".  Otherwise, it'll
+return "1.4" or the next lower version that implements all required
+functionality.
+
+A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
+some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers.
+Here's the current status of all included drivers:
+
