Mesa 6.0.1 release notes

Introduction
|
------------
|
|
Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
|
Even-numbered versions (such as 6.0.x) designate stable releases.
|
Odd-numbered versions (such as 6.1.x) designate new developmental releases.
|
|
Mesa 6.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 6.0 release. See the VERSIONS
|
file for details.

|
Device Drivers
|
--------------
|
|
Mesa advertises itself as supporting OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5
|
depending on the device driver's capabilities. For example, if the
|
driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.5
|
then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.5". Otherwise, it'll
|
return "1.4" or the next lower version that implements all required
|
functionality.
|
|
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:
