17ec681f3SmrgMesa 9.0 Release Notes / October 8, 2012
27ec681f3Smrg========================================
37ec681f3Smrg
47ec681f3SmrgMesa 9.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
57ec681f3Smrgstability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
67ec681f3Smrgfor Mesa 9.0.1.
77ec681f3Smrg
87ec681f3SmrgMesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by
97ec681f3SmrgglGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
107ec681f3SmrgglGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being
117ec681f3Smrgused. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
127ec681f3Smrg3.1. OpenGL 3.1 is **only** available if requested at context creation
137ec681f3Smrgbecause GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.
