| Mesa 5.0 release notes |
| |
| November 13, 2002 |
| |
| PLEASE READ!!!! |
| |
| |
| |
| Introduction |
| ------------ |
| |
| Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. |
| Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases. |
| Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1) designate new developmental releases. |
| |
| Mesa 5.0 is basically just a stabilization of Mesa 4.1. To see a list of |
| bug fixes, etc. see the VERSIONS file. |
| |
| |
| |
| New Features in Mesa 5.0 |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Mesa 5.0 supports OpenGL 1.4. Note Mesa's versioning convention: |
| |
| OpenGL Version Mesa Version |
| ------------------------------ |
| 1.0 1.x |
| 1.1 2.x |
| 1.2 3.x |
| 1.3 4.x |
| 1.4 5.x |
| |
| OpenGL 1.4 (and Mesa 5.0) incorporates the following OpenGL extensions as |
| standard features: |
| |
| GL_ARB_depth_texture |
| GL_ARB_shadow |
| GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar |
| GL_ARB_texture_mirror_repeat |
| GL_ARB_window_pos |
| GL_EXT_blend_color |
| GL_EXT_blend_func_separate |
| GL_EXT_blend_logic_op |
| GL_EXT_blend_minmax |
| GL_EXT_blend_subtract |
| GL_EXT_fog_coord |
| GL_EXT_multi_draw_arrays |
| GL_EXT_point_parameters |
| GL_EXT_secondary_color |
| GL_EXT_stencil_wrap |
| GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap |
| |
| |
| |
| Device Driver Status |
| -------------------- |
| |
| A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for |
| some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers. |
| Here's the current status of all included drivers: |
| |
| |
| Driver Status |
| ---------------------- --------------------- |
| XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| DOS implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| BeOS needs updating (underway) |
| Allegro needs updating |
| D3D needs updating |
| |
| Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the |
| driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function. |
