  10 Introduction
  11 ------------
  12
  13 Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
  14 Odd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases.
  15 Even numbered versions (such as 3.4) designate stable releases.
  16
  17 Mesa 4.0.3 basically just contains bug fixes version 4.0.2.
  18
  19 See the docs/VERSIONS file for the list of bug fixes.

  21 The GGI driver has been updated, thanks to Filip Spacek.

  24 Device Drivers
  25 --------------
  26
  27 Mesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on the
  28 device driver.  If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part
  29 of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3".  Otherwise,
  30 it'll return "1.2".
  31
  32 A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
  33 some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers.
  34 Here's the current status of all included drivers:
