-<H1>Downloading</H1>
+<h2>Downloading</h2>
<p>
-Current development release: <b>7.1</b>
-<br>
-Last stable release: <b>7.0.4</b>
+Primary Mesa download site:
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/">ftp.freedesktop.org</a> (FTP)
+or <a href="https://mesa.freedesktop.org/archive/">mesa.freedesktop.org</a>
+(HTTPS).
</p>
<p>
-Primary download site:
-<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3"
-target="_parent">SourceForge</a>
+Starting with the first release of 2017, Mesa's version scheme is
+year-based. Filenames are in the form <code>mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz</code>, where
+<code>Y</code> is the year (two digits), <code>N</code> is an incremental number
+(starting at 0) and <code>P</code> is the patch number (0 for the first
+release, 1 for the first patch after that).
</p>
<p>
-When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) can be found
-<a href="http://www.mesa3d.org/beta/">here</a>.
+When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) may be found
+in the same directory, and are recognisable by the
+<code>mesa-Y.N.P-<b>rc</b>X.tar.gz</code> filename.
</p>
-<p>
-Mesa is distributed in several parts:
-</p>
-<ul>
-<li><b>MesaLib-x.y.z</b> - the main Mesa library source code, drivers
- and documentation.
-</li>
-<li><b>MesaDemos-x.y.z</b> - OpenGL demonstration and test programs.
- Most of the programs require GLUT (either the
- <a href="http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut"
- target="_parent">original GLUT by Mark Kilgard</a> or
- <a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">freeglut</a> or
- <a href="http://openglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">OpenGLUT</a>).
-</li>
-<li><b>MesaGLUT-x.y.z</b> - Mark Kilgard's GLUT, easily compiled and used
- with Mesa. Plus, other implementation of GLUT for DOS, OS/2, BeOS, etc.
-</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first
-package.
-</p>
+<h2>Unpacking</h2>
<p>
-If you're new to this and not sure what you're doing, grab all three packages.
+Mesa releases are available in two formats: <code>.tar.xz</code> and <code>.tar.gz</code>.
</p>
<p>
-The packages are available in .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats.
-Other sites might offer additional package formats.
-</p>
-
-<H1>Unpacking</H1>
-
-<p>
-All the packages should be in the same directory prior to unpacking.
+To unpack the tarball:
</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>To unpack .tar.gz files:
-<pre>
- tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz
- tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
- tar zxf MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz
-</pre>
-or
-<pre>
- gzcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
- gzcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
- gzcat MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
-</pre>
-or
-<pre>
- gunzip MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
- gunzip MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar
- gunzip MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar
-</pre>
-<li>To unpack .tar.bz2 files:
<pre>
- bunzip2 -c MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
- bunzip2 -c MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
- bunzip2 -c MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+ tar xf mesa-Y.N.P.tar.xz
</pre>
-<li>To unpack .zip files:
+<p>or</p>
<pre>
- unzip MesaLib-X.Y.zip
- unzip MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
- unzip MesaGLUT-X.Y.zip
+ tar xf mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz
</pre>
-</ul>
-<h1>Contents</h1>
+<h2>Contents</h2>
<p>
-After unpacking you'll have these files and directories (among others):
+Proceed to the <a href="install.html">compilation and installation
+instructions</a>.
</p>
-<pre>
-Makefile - top-level Makefile for most systems
-configs/ - makefile parameter files for various systems
-include/ - GL header (include) files
-bin/ - shell scripts for making shared libraries, etc
-docs/ - documentation
-src/ - source code for libraries
-src/mesa - sources for the main Mesa library and device drivers
-src/glu - libGLU source code
-src/glx - sources for building libGL with full GLX and DRI support
-src/glw - Xt/Motif/OpenGL widget code
-</pre>
-If you downloaded and unpacked the MesaDemos.X.Y package:
-<pre>
-progs/demos - original Mesa demos
-progs/xdemos - GLX OpenGL/Mesa demos
-progs/redbook - examples from the OpenGL Programming Guide
-progs/samples - examples from SGI
-progs/images/ - image files
-</pre>
+<h2>Demos, GLUT, and GLU</h2>
-If you downloaded and unpacked the MesaGLUT.X.Y package:
-<pre>
-src/glut - GLUT library source code
-</pre>
+<p>
+A package of SGI's GLU library is available
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/">here</a>
+</p>
<p>
-Proceed to the <a href="install.html">compilation and installation
-instructions</a>.
+A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glut/">here</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Mesa demos collection is available
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/">here</a>
</p>
+<p>
+In the past, GLUT, GLU and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with
+Mesa releases. But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they
+were split off into their own git repositories:
+
+<a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut">GLUT</a>,
+<a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu">GLU</a> and
+<a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos">Demos</a>,
