 <h2>New features</h2>
 <ul>
+<li>Gallium3D - this is the new architecture for OS-independent and
+    API-independent 3D drivers.
+    Gallium3D is intended for GPUs that fully support  vertex/fragment shaders.
+    The Gallium3D drivers currently included are:
+    <ul>
+    <li>softpipe - a software/reference driver
+    <li>i915 - Intel 915/945 driver
+    <li><a href="cell.html">Cell</a> - IBM/Sony/Toshiba Cell processor driver
+    <li>nouveau (for NVIDIA GPUs) and R300 for (AMD/ATI R300).
+        <b>PLEASE NOTE: these drivers are incomplete and still under development.
+        It's probably NOT worthwhile to report any bugs unless you have patches.
+        </b>
+    </ul>
+<li>GL_ARB_framebuffer_object extension (software drivers, i965 driver)
+<li>Reworked two-sided stencil support.
+This allows a driver to support all three variations of two-sided stencil
+including GL_ATI_separate_stencil, GL_EXT_stencil_two_side and OpenGL 2.0
+<li>GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra extension (software drivers, i965 driver)
+<li>GL_NV_texture_env_combine4 extension (software drivers, i965/i915 drivers)
+<li>GL_EXT_texture_swizzle extension (software drivers, i965 driver)
+<li>Updated SPARC assembly optimizations (David S. Miller)
+<li>Initial support for separate compilation units in GLSL compiler.
 </ul>
 
 
 <h2>Bug fixes</h2>
 <ul>
+<li>Lots of i965 driver bug fixes
 </ul>
 
+
 <h2>Changes</h2>
 <ul>
+<li>Remove support for GL_SGIX_shadow, GL_SGIX_shadow_ambient and
+GL_SGIX_depth_texture extensions.  Superseded by the ARB versions.
+<li>Omitted some old Mesa demos from the release tarballs, added some others.
 </ul>
