To see a list of 18848b8605Smrgbug fixes, etc. see the VERSIONS file. 19848b8605Smrg 20848b8605Smrg 21848b8605Smrg 22848b8605SmrgNew Features in Mesa 5.0 23848b8605Smrg------------------------ 24848b8605Smrg 25848b8605SmrgMesa 5.0 supports OpenGL 1.4.

We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers. 62848b8605SmrgHere's the current status of all included drivers: 63848b8605Smrg 64848b8605Smrg 65848b8605SmrgDriver Status 66848b8605Smrg---------------------- --------------------- 67848b8605SmrgXMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4 68848b8605SmrgOSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4 69848b8605SmrgFX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 70848b8605SmrgSVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 71848b8605SmrgWind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 72848b8605SmrgWindows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4 73848b8605SmrgDOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 74848b8605SmrgGGI implements OpenGL 1.3 75848b8605SmrgDOS implements OpenGL 1.4 76848b8605SmrgBeOS needs updating (underway) 77848b8605SmrgAllegro needs updating 78848b8605SmrgD3D needs updating 79848b8605Smrg 80848b8605SmrgNote: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the 81848b8605Smrgdriver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function. 82848b8605Smrg 83848b8605Smrg 84848b8605Smrg---------------------------------------------------------------------- 85
