-Mesa can be downloaded from the
-<a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mesa3d" target="_parent">
-SourceForge download area</A>.
+Last development release: <b>6.3.2</b>
</p>
<p>
-Since version 2.3, Mesa is distributed in two pieces: main library code
-and demos. If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mesa or you're not
-interested in the demos you can just download the core Mesa archive file.
+Last stable release: <b>6.2.1</b>
</p>
<p>
-Mesa is available in at least three archive formats:
+Primary download site:
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3"
+target="_parent">SourceForge</a>
</p>
+
+<p>
+Mesa is distributed in several parts:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li><b>MesaLib-x.y.z</b> - the main Mesa library source code, drivers
+ and documentation.
+</li>
+<li><b>MesaDemos-x.y.z</b> - OpenGL demonstration and test programs.
+ Most of the programs require GLUT (either the
+ <a href="http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut.html"
+ target="_parent">original GLUT by Mark Kilgard</a> or
+ <a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">freeglut</a> or
+ <a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">OpenGLUT</a>).
+</li>
+<li><b>MesaGLUT-x.y.z</b> - Mark Kilgard's GLUT, easily compiled and used
+ with Mesa. Plus, other implementation of GLUT for DOS, OS/2, BeOS, etc.
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first
+package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The packages are available in .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats.
+Other organizations might offer additional package formats.
