10af69d88dSmrgIntroduction
11af69d88dSmrg------------
12af69d88dSmrg
13af69d88dSmrgMesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
14af69d88dSmrgOdd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases.
15af69d88dSmrgEven numbered versions (such as 3.4) designate stable releases.
16af69d88dSmrg
17af69d88dSmrgMesa 4.0.3 basically just contains bug fixes version 4.0.2.

19af69d88dSmrgSee the docs/VERSIONS file for the list of bug fixes.

24af69d88dSmrgDevice Drivers
25af69d88dSmrg--------------
26af69d88dSmrg
27af69d88dSmrgMesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on the
28af69d88dSmrgdevice driver.  If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part
29af69d88dSmrgof OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3".  Otherwise,
30af69d88dSmrgit'll return "1.2".
31af69d88dSmrg
32af69d88dSmrgA number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
33af69d88dSmrgsome time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers.
34af69d88dSmrgHere's the current status of all included drivers:
