10Introduction
11------------
12
13Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
14Even numbered versions (such as 4.0) designate stable releases.
15Odd numbered versions (such as 4.1) designate new developmental releases.

18New Features in Mesa 4.1
19------------------------
20
21New extensions.  Docs at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/
22
23GL_NV_vertex_program
24
25    NVIDIA's vertex programming extension
26
27GL_NV_vertex_program1_1
28
29    A few features built on top of GL_NV_vertex_program
30
31GL_ARB_window_pos
32
33    This is the ARB-approved version of GL_MESA_window_pos
34
35GL_ARB_depth_texture
36
37    This is the ARB-approved version of GL_SGIX_depth_texture.
38    It allows depth (Z buffer) data to be stored in textures.
39    This is used by GL_ARB_shadow
40
41GL_ARB_shadow
42
43    Shadow mapping with depth textures.
44    This is the ARB-approved version of GL_SGIX_shadow.
45
46GL_ARB_shadow_ambient
47
48    Allows one to specify the luminance of shadowed pixels.
49    This is the ARB-approved version of GL_SGIX_shadow_ambient.
50
51GL_EXT_shadow_funcs
52
53    Extends the set of GL_ARB_shadow texture comparision functions to
54    include all eight of standard OpenGL dept-test functions.

58Device Driver Status
59--------------------
60
61A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
62some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
63Here's the current status of all included drivers:
