+Introduction

+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Odd numbered versions (such as 6.5) designate new developmental releases.
+Even numbered versions (such as 6.4) designate stable releases.
+
+
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+GL_EXT_timer_query  - used to get elapsed time information from the renderer.
+
+
+

+
+Stencil: The Driver.StencilOp/Func/Mask() functions have been replaced by
+the two-sided versions: Driver.Stencil*Separate().
