                           month, day, 2005



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.



New Features
------------

GL_EXT_timer_query  - used to get elapsed time information from the renderer.



Driver Interface Changes
------------------------

Stencil: The Driver.StencilOp/Func/Mask() functions have been replaced by
the two-sided versions: Driver.Stencil*Separate().



To Do
-----
Fix linux-glide target/driver.
Fix lambda calculation for frag progs.




Removed Extensions
------------------

The following extensions have been removed:

  GL_HP_occlusion_test - this is superceded by GL_ARB_occlusion_query.



To Do (someday) items
---------------------
 Switch to freeglut
 Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
