| Mesa 5.0.2 release notes |
| |
| September 5, 2003 |

| |
| |
| Introduction |
| ------------ |
| |
| Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. |
| Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0.x) designate stable releases. |
| Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1.x) designate new developmental releases. |
| |
| Mesa 5.0.2 just fixes bugs found since the 5.0.1 release. See the VERSIONS |
| file for details. |
| |
| |
| 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 |
| DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| BeOS implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 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. |
