      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:
     25 
     26 
     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
     40 
     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.
