| 9 | ------------ |

| 11 | Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. |
| 12 | Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0.x) designate stable releases. |
| 13 | Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1.x) designate new developmental releases. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Mesa 5.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 5.0 release. See the VERSIONS |
| 16 | file for details. |

| 19 | Device Driver Status |
| 20 | -------------------- |
| 21 | |
| 22 | A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for |
| 23 | some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers. |
| 24 | Here's the current status of all included drivers: |
| 25 | |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Driver Status |
| 28 | ---------------------- --------------------- |
| 29 | XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 30 | OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 31 | FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 32 | SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 33 | Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 34 | Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 35 | DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 36 | GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| 37 | BeOS implements OpenGL 1.4 |
| 38 | Allegro needs updating |
| 39 | D3D needs updating |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the |
| 42 | driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function. |
