Ian Romanick	5812b24	2011-08-31 13:20:00 -0700	[diff] [blame]	14	People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
Kenneth Graunke	a53cb34	2012-01-06 16:54:11 -0800	[diff] [blame]	15	with a previous release or wait for Mesa 8.0.1.

Kenneth Graunke	a53cb34	2012-01-06 16:54:11 -0800	[diff] [blame]	18	Mesa 8.0 implements the OpenGL 3.0 API, but the version reported by
Ian Romanick	5812b24	2011-08-31 13:20:00 -0700	[diff] [blame]	19	glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.

Ian Romanick	5812b24	2011-08-31 13:20:00 -0700	[diff] [blame]	55
				56
				57	<h2>Changes</h2>
				58	<ul>
				59	<li>Removed all DRI drivers that did not support DRI2. Specifically,
				60	i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome were
				61	removed.</li>
				62	<li>Removed support for BeOS.</li>
				63	<li>Removed the obsolete (and unmaintained) Windows "gldirect" and
				64	"ICD" drivers.</li>
				65	<li>Removed the linux-fbdev software driver.</li>
				66	<li>Removed all remnants of paletted texture support. As required by
				67	desktop OpenGL, <tt>GL_COLOR_INDEX</tt> data can still be uploaded
				68	to a color (e.g., RGBA) texture. However, the data cannot be stored
				69	internally as color-index.</li>
Kai Wasserbäch	5383c9c	2011-11-29 17:07:05 +0100	[diff] [blame]	70	<li>Removed support for GL_APPLE_client_storage extension.</li>
Eric Anholt	b300d62	2011-10-20 15:10:05 -0700	[diff] [blame]	71	<li>Removed the classic Mesa r300 and r600 drivers, which are superseded
Kai Wasserbäch	5383c9c	2011-11-29 17:07:05 +0100	[diff] [blame]	72	by the gallium drivers for this hardware.</li>
Kai Wasserbäch	0a22fb6	2011-11-29 22:36:02 +0100	[diff] [blame]	73	<li>Removed the dead Gallium i965, cell and failover drivers, which were
				74	either broken and with nobody in sight to fix the situation or
				75	deprecated.</li>
