+ 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
