10bf215546Sopenharmony_ciIntroduction
11bf215546Sopenharmony_ci------------
12bf215546Sopenharmony_ci
13bf215546Sopenharmony_ciMesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
14bf215546Sopenharmony_ciOdd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases.
15bf215546Sopenharmony_ciEven numbered versions (such as 3.4) designate stable releases.
16bf215546Sopenharmony_ci
17bf215546Sopenharmony_ciMesa 4.0.2 only contains bug fixes and a new DOS driver since version 4.0.1.
18bf215546Sopenharmony_ci
19bf215546Sopenharmony_ciSee the docs/VERSIONS file for the list of bug fixes.

22bf215546Sopenharmony_ciDevice Drivers
23bf215546Sopenharmony_ci--------------
24bf215546Sopenharmony_ci
25bf215546Sopenharmony_ciMesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on the
26bf215546Sopenharmony_cidevice driver.  If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part
27bf215546Sopenharmony_ciof OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3".  Otherwise,
28bf215546Sopenharmony_ciit'll return "1.2".
29bf215546Sopenharmony_ci
30bf215546Sopenharmony_ciA number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
31bf215546Sopenharmony_cisome time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers.
32bf215546Sopenharmony_ciHere's the current status of all included drivers:
