<h1>Mesa 8.1 Release Notes / date TBD</h1>
<p>
Mesa 8.1 is a new development release.
</p>
<p>
Mesa 8.1 implements the OpenGL 3.0 API, but the version reported by
glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.0.

<li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended</li>

<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
