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.
