Mesa 6.3 release notes
month day, 2004
PLEASE READ!!!!
Introduction
------------
Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
Odd numbered versions (such as 6.3) designate new developmental releases.
Even numbered versions (such as 6.2) designate stable releases.
New Features
------------
GL_ARB_draw_buffers - allows a fragment program to write to a number of
separate color buffers, instead of just one.
GL_OES_read_format - allows one to query the fastest glReadPixels format
and datatype.
GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object - buffer objects for pixel read/write functions.
DirectFB driver, contributed by Claudio Ciccani. See docs/README.directfb
for details.
Vertex/Fragment Program PRINT Instruction
-----------------------------------------
The GL_NV_vertex_program and GL_NV_fragment_program languages have been
extended with a PRINT instruction.
To Do before release
--------------------
Fix dinoshade bug
Switch to freeglut
Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
driver hooks for BeginQuery/EndQuery
