1 2 Mesa 4.0.3 release notes 3 4 June 25, 2002 5 6 PLEASE READ!!!! 7 8 9 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. 20 21 The GGI driver has been updated, thanks to Filip Spacek. 22 23 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: 35 36 Driver Status 37 ---------------------- --------------------- 38 XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.3 39 OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.3 40 FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 41 SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 42 Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 43 Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.3 44 DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 (new in Mesa 4.0.2) 45 GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 46 BeOS needs updating 47 Allegro needs updating 48 D3D needs updating 49 50 51 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 52
