11<H1>Mesa 7.9 Release Notes / date TBD</H1>
12
13<p>
14Mesa 7.9 is a new development release.
15People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
16with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.9.1.
17</p>
18<p>
19Mesa 7.9 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
20glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
21Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
