+ Mesa 4.0.3 release notes
+
+ June 25, 2002
+
+ PLEASE READ!!!!
+
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Odd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases.
+Even numbered versions (such as 3.4) designate stable releases.
+
+Mesa 4.0.3 basically just contains bug fixes version 4.0.2.
+
+See the docs/VERSIONS file for the list of bug fixes.
+
+The GGI driver has been updated, thanks to Filip Spacek.
+
+
+Device Drivers
+--------------
+
+Mesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on the
+device driver. If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part
+of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3". Otherwise,
+it'll return "1.2".
+
+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 1.3
+OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.3
+FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3
+SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3
+Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3
+Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.3
+DOS/DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.3 (new in Mesa 4.0.2)
+GGI implements OpenGL 1.3
+BeOS needs updating
+Allegro needs updating
+D3D needs updating
