| 10 | Introduction |
| 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. |

| Brian Paul | a89cc0e | 2003-02-13 16:01:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | Adds a color table lookup to the RGBA texture path. There's a separate |
| 33 | color table for each texture unit. |

| 41 | Source File Changes |
| 42 | ------------------- |
| 43 | |
| 44 | The mmath.[ch] files are obsolete. Their contents have been moved |
| 45 | into the imports.[ch] and macros.[ch] files. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | The files related to vertex and fragment programming have changed. |
| 48 | Old files: |
| 49 | vpexec.[ch] |
| 50 | vpparse.[ch] |
| 51 | vpstate.[ch] |
| 52 | New files: |
| 53 | nvvertprog.h - NV vertex program definitions |
| 54 | nvfragprog.h - NV fragment program definitions |
| 55 | nvvertparse.[ch] - NV vertex program parser |
| 56 | nvfragparse.[ch] - NV fragment program parser |
| 57 | nvprogram.[ch] - NV program API functions |
| 58 | nvvertexec.[ch] - NV vertex program execution |

| 64 | Device Driver Status |
| 65 | -------------------- |
| 66 | |
| 67 | A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for |
| 68 | some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers. |
| 69 | Here's the current status of all included drivers: |
| 70 | |
| 71 | |
| 72 | Driver Status |
| 73 | ---------------------- --------------------- |
| 74 | XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 75 | OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 76 | FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 77 | SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 78 | Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 79 | Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 80 | DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 81 | GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 82 | DOS implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 83 | BeOS needs updating (underway) |
| 84 | Allegro needs updating |
| 85 | D3D needs updating |
| 86 | |
| 87 | Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the |
| 88 | driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function. |
