| 11 | ------------ |
| 12 | |
| 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 5.1) designate new developmental releases. |

| 24 | Device Driver Status |
| 25 | -------------------- |
| 26 | |
| 27 | A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for |
| 28 | some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers. |
| 29 | Here's the current status of all included drivers: |

| 31 | |
| 32 | Driver Status |
| 33 | ---------------------- --------------------- |
| 34 | XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 35 | OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 36 | FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 37 | SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 38 | Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 39 | Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 40 | DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 41 | GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 42 | DOS implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 43 | BeOS needs updating (underway) |
| 44 | Allegro needs updating |
| 45 | D3D needs updating |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the |
| 48 | driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function. |
