Andreas Boll207d52e2012-06-16 10:51:06 +020010<h1>Mesa 7.9 Release Notes / October 4, 2010</h1>
Brian Paul67277a62010-03-05 17:36:34 -070011
12<p>
13Mesa 7.9 is a new development release.
14People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
15with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.9.1.
16</p>
17<p>
18Mesa 7.9 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
19glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
20Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
21</p>
22<p>
23See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
24for DRI hardware acceleration.
