10Introduction
11------------
12
13Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
14Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases.
15Odd-numbered versions (such as 5.1) designate new developmental releases.

27Device Driver Status
28--------------------
29
30A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
31some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
32Here's the current status of all included drivers:

34
35Driver			Status
36----------------------	---------------------
37XMesa (Xlib)		implements OpenGL 1.4
38OSMesa (off-screen)	implements OpenGL 1.4
39FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2)	implements OpenGL 1.3
40SVGA			implements OpenGL 1.3
41Wind River UGL		implements OpenGL 1.3
42Windows/Win32		implements OpenGL 1.4
43DOS/DJGPP		implements OpenGL 1.3
44GGI			implements OpenGL 1.3
45DOS			implements OpenGL 1.4
46BeOS			needs updating (underway)
47Allegro			needs updating
48D3D			needs updating
49
50Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
51driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
