10Introduction
11------------
12
13Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
14Odd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases.
15Even numbered versions (such as 3.4) designate stable releases.
16
17Mesa 4.0.3 basically just contains bug fixes version 4.0.2.
18
19See the docs/VERSIONS file for the list of bug fixes.

21The GGI driver has been updated, thanks to Filip Spacek.

24Device Drivers
25--------------
26
27Mesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on the
28device driver.  If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part
29of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3".  Otherwise,
30it'll return "1.2".
31
32A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
33some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers.
34Here's the current status of all included drivers:
