| Introduction |
| ------------ |
| |
| Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. |
| Even numbered versions (such as 4.0) designate stable releases. |
| Odd numbered versions (such as 4.1) designate new developmental releases. |
| |

| A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for |
| some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers. |
| Here's the current status of all included drivers: |
