Mesa 4.0.2 release notes |
|
March 25, 2002 |
|
PLEASE READ!!!! |
|
|
|
Introduction |
------------ |
|
Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. |
Odd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases. |
Even numbered versions (such as 3.4) designate stable releases. |
|
Mesa 4.0.2 only contains bug fixes and a new DOS driver since version 4.0.1. |
|
See the docs/VERSIONS file for the list of bug fixes. |
|
|
Device Drivers |
-------------- |
|
Mesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on the |
device driver. If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part |
of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3". Otherwise, |
it'll return "1.2". |
|
A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for |
some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers. |
Here's the current status of all included drivers: |
|
