+                            Mesa 5.1 release notes
+
+                              Month day, 2003
+
+                                PLEASE READ!!!!
+
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases.
+Odd-numbered versions (such as 5.1) designate new developmental releases.
+
+
+New Features in Mesa 5.1
+------------------------
+
+
+
+
+Device Driver Status
+--------------------
+
+A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
+some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
+Here's the current status of all included drivers:
+
+
+Driver                 Status
+---------------------- ---------------------
+XMesa (Xlib)           implements OpenGL 1.4
+OSMesa (off-screen)    implements OpenGL 1.4
+FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2)    implements OpenGL 1.3
+SVGA                   implements OpenGL 1.3
+Wind River UGL         implements OpenGL 1.3
+Windows/Win32          implements OpenGL 1.4
+DOS/DJGPP              implements OpenGL 1.3
+GGI                    implements OpenGL 1.3
+DOS                    implements OpenGL 1.4
+BeOS                   needs updating (underway)
+Allegro                        needs updating
+D3D                    needs updating
+
+Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
+driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
