  13 <p>
  14 Mesa 7.8.1 fixes a couple critical bugs in the recent Mesa 7.8 release.  Even
  15 though this is a bug fix release, given its proximity to the 7.8 release, a
  16 new development release, it should also be considered new development release.
  17 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
  18 with a previous release, such as 7.7.1, or wait for Mesa 7.8.2.
  19 </p>
  20 <p>
  21 Mesa 7.8.1 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
  22 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
  23 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
