Mesa 6.5.1 Release Notes



Introduction
------------

Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
Odd numbered versions (such as 6.5) designate new developmental releases.
Even numbered versions (such as 6.4) designate stable releases.



Mesa 6.5.1 is a 6.5 follow-on development release mostly consisting of
bug fixes (see the VERSIONS file).

  Intel i965 "broadwater" DRI driver

  GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object - allows encapsulation of a set of vertex
	arrays in an object.
