Mesa 5.0.1 release notes March 30, 2003 Introduction ------------ Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0.x) designate stable releases. Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1.x) designate new developmental releases. Mesa 5.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 5.0 release. See the VERSIONS file for details. Device Driver Status -------------------- A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers. Here's the current status of all included drivers: Driver Status ---------------------- --------------------- XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4 OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4 FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4 DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.4 GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 BeOS needs updating (underway) Allegro needs updating D3D needs updating Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $Id: RELNOTES-5.0.1,v 1.1.2.3 2003/03/27 18:32:40 brianp Exp $
