  11 <H1>Mesa 7.9 Release Notes / date TBD</H1>
  12
  13 <p>
  14 Mesa 7.9 is a new development release.
  15 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
  16 with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.9.1.
  17 </p>
  18 <p>
  19 Mesa 7.9 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
  20 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
  21 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
