   8 Introduction
   9 ------------
  10
  11 Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
  12 Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0.x) designate stable releases.
  13 Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1.x) designate new developmental releases.
  14
  15 Mesa 5.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 5.0 release.  See the VERSIONS
  16 file for details.

  19 Device Driver Status
  20 --------------------
  21
  22 A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
  23 some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
  24 Here's the current status of all included drivers:

  27 Driver                  Status
  28 ----------------------  ---------------------
  29 XMesa (Xlib)            implements OpenGL 1.4
  30 OSMesa (off-screen)     implements OpenGL 1.4
  31 FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2)     implements OpenGL 1.3
  32 SVGA                    implements OpenGL 1.3
  33 Wind River UGL          implements OpenGL 1.3
  34 Windows/Win32           implements OpenGL 1.4
  35 DJGPP                   implements OpenGL 1.4
  36 GGI                     implements OpenGL 1.3
  37 BeOS                    implements OpenGL 1.4
  38 Allegro                 needs updating
  39 D3D                     needs updating

  41 Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
  42 driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
