Introduction
|
------------
|
|
Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
|
Odd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases.
|
Even numbered versions (such as 3.4) designate stable releases.
|
|
Mesa 4.0.3 basically just contains bug fixes version 4.0.2.
|
|
See the docs/VERSIONS file for the list of bug fixes.
|
|
The GGI driver has been updated, thanks to Filip Spacek.
|
|
|
Device Drivers
|
--------------
|
|
Mesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on the
|
device driver. If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part
|
of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3". Otherwise,
|
it'll return "1.2".
|
|
A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
|
some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers.
|
Here's the current status of all included drivers:
