+Mesa 7.1 is a new development release.
+There have been many internal code changes since Mesa 7.0.x.
+It should be relatively stable, but those who are especially concerned about
+stability should wait for Mesa 7.2 or use Mesa 7.0.4 (the previous stable
+release).
+
+>
+Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
+The master branch of git uses GEM.
+
autoconf-based configuration (and clean-up of Makefiles)
+
Assorted DRI driver enhancements
+
Reduced dependencies between X server and Mesa
+
GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for Xlib driver
+
Support for the GL shading language with i965 driver (implemented by Intel)
+
ATI R500 series support (Radeon X1300–X1950) in r300 DRI driver
+
+
+
+
Bug fixes
+
+
Numerous GLSL fixes
+
Fixed some error code/detection bugs in the GLSL-related API functions
+
Lots of DRI driver fixes.
+
+
+
+
To Do (someday) items
+
+
Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
+Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
+The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
+have valgrind. Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
+
Switch to freeglut
+
Fix linux-glide target/driver.
+
Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
