| 11 | <H1>Mesa 7.8 Release Notes / date TBD</H1> |
| 12 | |
| 13 | <p> |
| 14 | Mesa 7.8 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 7.8.1. |
| 17 | </p> |
| 18 | <p> |
| 19 | Mesa 7.8 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. |
| 22 | </p> |
| 23 | <p> |
| 24 | See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites |
| 25 | for DRI hardware acceleration. |
