+<H1>Mesa 7.5 Release Notes / 17 July 2009</H1>
+
+<p>
+Mesa 7.5 is a new development release.
+People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
+with the 7.4.x branch or wait for Mesa 7.5.1.
+</p>
+<p>
+The main new feature of Mesa 7.5 is the
+<a href="http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gallium"
+target="_parent">Gallium3D</a> infrastructure.
+</p>
+<p>
+Mesa 7.5 implements the OpenGL 2.1 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 2.1.
+</p>
+<p>
+See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
+for DRI hardware acceleration.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that the Mesa project is no longer using odd/even version numbers
+to indicate development/stable releases.
+The so-called development releases have been fairly stable.
+If you're especially concerned with stability you should probably look for
+"point" releases such as 7.5.1 which will be a bug-fix release.
+</p>

+<h2>New features</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>Gallium3D - this is the new architecture for OS-independent and
+    API-independent 3D drivers.
+    Gallium3D is intended for GPUs that fully support  vertex/fragment shaders.
+    The Gallium3D drivers currently included are:
+    <ul>
+    <li>softpipe - a software/reference driver
+    <li>i915 - Intel 915/945 driver
+    <li><a href="cell.html">Cell</a> - IBM/Sony/Toshiba Cell processor driver
+    <li>nouveau (for NVIDIA GPUs) and R300 for (AMD/ATI R300).
+        <b>PLEASE NOTE: these drivers are incomplete and still under development.
+        It's probably NOT worthwhile to report any bugs unless you have patches.
+        </b>
+    </ul>
+<li>GL_ARB_framebuffer_object extension (software drivers, i965 driver)
+<li>Reworked two-sided stencil support.
+This allows a driver to support all three variations of two-sided stencil
+including GL_ATI_separate_stencil, GL_EXT_stencil_two_side and OpenGL 2.0
+<li>GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra extension (software drivers, i965 driver)
+<li>GL_NV_texture_env_combine4 extension (software drivers, i965/i915 drivers)
+<li>GL_EXT_texture_swizzle extension (software drivers, i965 driver)
+<li>Updated SPARC assembly optimizations (David S. Miller)
+<li>Initial support for separate compilation units in GLSL compiler.
+<li>Increased max number of generic GLSL varying variables to 16 (formerly 8).
+<li>GLSL linker now detects when too many varying variables are used.
+<li>Optimize-out redundant glMaterial and glShadeModel calls in display lists
+<li>Fixed gl_TextureMatrix[i][j] array indexing bug in GLSL compiler.
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>Lots of i965 driver bug fixes
+<li>Fixed some GLSL preprocessor bugs
+<li>GLSL: continue inside of a for-loop didn't work
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2>Changes</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>Remove support for GL_SGIX_shadow, GL_SGIX_shadow_ambient and
+GL_SGIX_depth_texture extensions.  Superseded by the ARB versions.
+<li>Omitted some old Mesa demos from the release tarballs, added some others.
+</ul>
