+<h1>Mesa 9.0 Release Notes / October 8, 2012</h1>
+
+<p>
+Mesa 9.0 is a new development release.
+People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
+with a previous release or wait for Mesa 9.0.1.
+</p>
+<p>
+Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by
+glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
+glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
+Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.1. OpenGL
+3.1 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation
+because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.
+</p>

+<li>GL_ARB_base_instance</li>
+<li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended</li>
+<li>GL_ARB_debug_output</li>

+The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake and SCons.
+</li>
+<li>Removed support for GL_ARB_shadow_ambient extension</li>
+<li>Removed Gallium3D - nvfx driver (use nv30 instead)</li>
+<li>
