Eric Engestrom5b10c362017-02-08 04:27:00 -070027Starting with the first release of 2017, Mesa's version scheme is
28year-based. Filenames are in the form <tt>mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz</tt>, where
29<tt>Y</tt> is the year (two digits), <tt>N</tt> is an incremental number
30(starting at 0) and <tt>P</tt> is the patch number (0 for the first
31release, 1 for the first patch after that).

Brian Paul5d56e312009-09-03 15:44:49 -060035When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) may be found
Eric Engestromd7e1a162017-02-08 04:27:00 -070036in the same directory, and are recognisable by the
37<tt>mesa-Y.N.P-<b>rc</b>X.tar.gz</tt> filename.

103were split off into their own git repositories:
