1 2 Mesa 5.0.1 release notes 3 4 March 30, 2003 5 6 7 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. 17 18 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. 43 44 45 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 46
