To see a list of 18af69d88dSmrgbug fixes, etc. see the VERSIONS file. 19af69d88dSmrg 20af69d88dSmrg 21af69d88dSmrg 22af69d88dSmrgNew Features in Mesa 5.0 23af69d88dSmrg------------------------ 24af69d88dSmrg 25af69d88dSmrgMesa 5.0 supports OpenGL 1.4.

We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers. 62af69d88dSmrgHere's the current status of all included drivers: 63af69d88dSmrg 64af69d88dSmrg 65af69d88dSmrgDriver Status 66af69d88dSmrg---------------------- --------------------- 67af69d88dSmrgXMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4 68af69d88dSmrgOSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4 69af69d88dSmrgFX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 70af69d88dSmrgSVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 71af69d88dSmrgWind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 72af69d88dSmrgWindows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4 73af69d88dSmrgDOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 74af69d88dSmrgGGI implements OpenGL 1.3 75af69d88dSmrgDOS implements OpenGL 1.4 76af69d88dSmrgBeOS needs updating (underway) 77af69d88dSmrgAllegro needs updating 78af69d88dSmrgD3D needs updating 79af69d88dSmrg 80af69d88dSmrgNote: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the 81af69d88dSmrgdriver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function. 82af69d88dSmrg 83af69d88dSmrg 84af69d88dSmrg---------------------------------------------------------------------- 85
