| Andreas Boll | 207d52e | 2012-06-16 10:51:06 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | <h1>Mesa 7.6 Release Notes, 28 September 2009</h1> |
| Brian Paul | 7ca0427 | 2009-05-01 09:24:19 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | |
| 12 | <p> |
| 13 | Mesa 7.6 is a new development release. |
| 14 | People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick |
| 15 | with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.6.1. |
| 16 | </p> |
| 17 | <p> |
| 18 | Mesa 7.6 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by |
| 19 | glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. |
| 20 | Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1. |
| 21 | </p> |
| 22 | <p> |
| 23 | See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites |
| 24 | for DRI hardware acceleration. |
