9bf215546Sopenharmony_ci------------
10bf215546Sopenharmony_ci
11bf215546Sopenharmony_ciMesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
12bf215546Sopenharmony_ciEven-numbered versions (such as 6.0.x) designate stable releases.
13bf215546Sopenharmony_ciOdd-numbered versions (such as 6.1.x) designate new developmental releases.
14bf215546Sopenharmony_ci
15bf215546Sopenharmony_ciMesa 6.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 6.0 release.  See the VERSIONS
16bf215546Sopenharmony_cifile for details.

20bf215546Sopenharmony_ciDevice Drivers
21bf215546Sopenharmony_ci--------------
22bf215546Sopenharmony_ci
23bf215546Sopenharmony_ciMesa advertises itself as supporting OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5
24bf215546Sopenharmony_cidepending on the device driver's capabilities.  For example, if the
25bf215546Sopenharmony_cidriver enables all the ARB extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.5
26bf215546Sopenharmony_cithen glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.5".  Otherwise, it'll
27bf215546Sopenharmony_cireturn "1.4" or the next lower version that implements all required
28bf215546Sopenharmony_cifunctionality.

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:
