| Mesa 6.0.1 release notes |
| |
| April 2, 2003 |
| |
| |
| |
| Introduction |
| ------------ |
| |
| Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. |
| Even-numbered versions (such as 6.0.x) designate stable releases. |
| Odd-numbered versions (such as 6.1.x) designate new developmental releases. |
| |
| Mesa 6.0.1 just fixes bugs found since the 6.0 release. See the VERSIONS |
| file for details. |
| |
| |
| |
| Device Drivers |
| -------------- |
| |
| Mesa advertises itself as supporting OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5 |
| depending on the device driver's capabilities. For example, if the |
| driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.5 |
| then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.5". Otherwise, it'll |
| return "1.4" or the next lower version that implements all required |
| functionality. |
| |
| A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for |
| some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers. |
| Here's the current status of all included drivers: |
| |
| Driver Status |
| ---------------------- --------------------- |
| XMesa (Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.5 |
| OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.5 |
| FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.5 |
| DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.5 |
| GGI implements OpenGL 1.3 |
| BeOS implements OpenGL 1.5 |
| Allegro needs updating |
| D3D needs updating |
