+<H1>Mesa 8.0 Release Notes / (release date TBD)</H1>
+
+<p>
+Mesa 8.0 is a new development release.
+People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
+with a previous release or wait for Mesa 8.0.1.
+</p>
+<p>
+Mesa 8.0 implements the OpenGL 3.0 API, but the version reported by
+glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
+Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.0.
+</p>
+<p>
+See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
+for DRI hardware acceleration.
+</p>

+<h2>New features</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>GL_ARB_ES2_compatibility (r300g, r600g)
+<li>GL_ARB_depth_buffer_float (r600g)
+<li>GL_ARB_vertex_type_2_10_10_10_rev (r600g)
+<li>GL_ARB_texture_storage (gallium drivers and swrast)
+<li>GL_EXT_packed_float (i965)
+<li>GL_EXT_texture_array (r600g, i965)
+<li>GL_EXT_texture_shared_exponent (i965)
+<li>GL_NV_fog_distance (all gallium drivers, nouveau classic)
+<li>GL_NV_primitive_restart (r600g)
+<li>GL_OES_EGL_image_external (gallium drivers)
+<li>GL_OES_compressed_ETC1_RGB8_texture (softpipe, llvmpipe)
+<li>ARB_texture_rgb10_a2ui (softpipe, r600g)
+<li>Many updates to the VMware svga Gallium driver

+<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
+<ul>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2>Changes</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>Removed all DRI drivers that did not support DRI2. Specifically,
+ i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome were
+ removed.</li>
+<li>Removed support for BeOS.</li>
+<li>Removed the obsolete (and unmaintained) Windows "gldirect" and
+ "ICD" drivers.</li>
+<li>Removed the linux-fbdev software driver.</li>
+<li>Removed all remnants of paletted texture support. As required by
+ desktop OpenGL, <tt>GL_COLOR_INDEX</tt> data can still be uploaded
+ to a color (e.g., RGBA) texture. However, the data cannot be stored
+ internally as color-index.</li>
+<li>Removed support for GL_APPLE_client_storage extension.</li>
+<li>Removed the classic Mesa r300 and r600 drivers, which are superseded
+ by the gallium drivers for this hardware.</li>
+<li>Removed the dead Gallium i965, cell and failover drivers, which were
+ either broken and with nobody in sight to fix the situation or
+ deprecated.</li>
+</ul>
