+ Mesa 5.1 release notes
+
+ Month day, 2003
+
+ PLEASE READ!!!!
+
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases.
+Odd-numbered versions (such as 5.1) designate new developmental releases.
+
+
+New Features in Mesa 5.1
+------------------------
+
+
+
+
+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
+DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3
+GGI implements OpenGL 1.3
+DOS implements OpenGL 1.4
+BeOS needs updating (underway)
+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.
