| Ian Romanick | 0791484 | 2012-08-30 13:55:02 -0700 | [diff] [blame^] | 13 | Mesa 9.0 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 9.0.1. |

| Ian Romanick | 0791484 | 2012-08-30 13:55:02 -0700 | [diff] [blame^] | 18 | Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by |
| 19 | glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) / |
| 20 | glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. |
| 21 | Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.1. OpenGL |
| 22 | 3.1 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation |
| 23 | because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported. |
