| 2 | ========================================= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Mesa 7.7 is a new development release. People who are concerned with |
| 5 | stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait |
| 6 | for Mesa 7.7.1. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Mesa 7.7 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by |
| 9 | glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. |
| 10 | Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1. |

| 30 | New features |
| 31 | ------------ |
| 32 | |
| 33 | - VMware "SVGA" Gallium driver. This is a Gallium3D driver which |
| 34 | targets the VMware virtual graphics device. It allows Linux OpenGL |
| 35 | guest applications to utilize the 3D graphics hardware of the host |
| 36 | operating system. |
| 37 | - GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex (supported in Intel i965 and |
| 38 | software drivers) |
| 39 | - GL_ARB_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers) |
| 40 | - GL_NV_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers) |
| 41 | - GL_ARB_provoking_vertex (same as GL_EXT_provoking_vertex) |
| 42 | - Wavefront .obj file loader/viewer demo (progs/demos/objviewer) |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Bug fixes |
| 45 | --------- |
| 46 | |
| 47 | - Many assorted i965 driver fixes. |
| 48 | - Many r300-gallium driver fixes; this driver is now considered |
| 49 | unstable-quality instead of experimental-quality. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Changes |
| 52 | ------- |
| 53 | |
| 54 | - New Mesa texture/surface format infrastructure |
| 55 | - Removed some unused Mesa device driver hooks |
