Mesa 7.11 Release Notes / July 31, 2011

Mesa 7.11 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.11.1.

Mesa 7.11 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.

See the Compiling/Installing page for prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.

Changes

The Windows MSVC project files have been removed. They haven't been maintained in quite a while. Building with SCons is an alternative.
Removed GL_SGI_texture_color_table support from swrast driver - the only driver that implemented it.
