| 8 | Introduction |
| 9 | ------------ |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. |
| 12 | Odd numbered versions (such as 6.3) designate new developmental releases. |
| 13 | Even numbered versions (such as 6.4) designate stable releases. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | |
| 16 | 6.4 is a bug-fix release. See the VERSIONS file for details. |

| 20 | GLUT tarball |
| 21 | ------------ |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Starting with 6.4, the GLUT library sources are distributed in a separate |
| 24 | tarball. This was done at the request of Linux distro vendors who prefer |
| 25 | to use freeglut. |
