13 Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
14 Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases.
15 Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1) designate new developmental releases.
17 Mesa 5.0 is basically just a stabilization of Mesa 4.1. To see a list of
18 bug fixes, etc. see the VERSIONS file.
22 New Features in Mesa 5.0
23 ------------------------
25 Mesa 5.0 supports OpenGL 1.4. Note Mesa's versioning convention:
27 OpenGL Version Mesa Version
28 ------------------------------
35 OpenGL 1.4 (and Mesa 5.0) incorporates the following OpenGL extensions as
40 GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar
41 GL_ARB_texture_mirror_repeat
44 GL_EXT_blend_func_separate
49 GL_EXT_multi_draw_arrays
50 GL_EXT_point_parameters
51 GL_EXT_secondary_color
53 GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap
60 A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
61 some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
62 Here's the current status of all included drivers:
66 ---------------------- ---------------------
67 XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4
68 OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4
69 FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3
70 SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3
71 Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3
72 Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4
73 DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3
74 GGI implements OpenGL 1.3
75 DOS implements OpenGL 1.4
76 BeOS needs updating (underway)
77 Allegro needs updating
80 Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
81 driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
