   8 Introduction
   9 ------------
  10
  11 Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
  12 Even-numbered versions (such as 6.0.x) designate stable releases.
  13 Odd-numbered versions (such as 6.1.x) designate new developmental releases.
  14
  15 Mesa 6.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 6.0 release.  See the VERSIONS
  16 file for details.

  20 Device Drivers
  21 --------------
  22
  23 Mesa advertises itself as supporting OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5
  24 depending on the device driver's capabilities.  For example, if the
  25 driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.5
  26 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.5".  Otherwise, it'll
  27 return "1.4" or the next lower version that implements all required
  28 functionality.

  30 A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
  31 some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers.
  32 Here's the current status of all included drivers:
