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.

18New Features in Mesa 5.1
19------------------------
20
21GL_ATI_texture_env_combine3 extension
22   This adds a few new texture combine modes.
23   Contributed by Ian Romanick.
24
25GL_SGI_texture_color_table
26   Adds a color table lookup to the RGBA texture path.  There's a separate
27   color table for each texture unit.
28   Contributed by Eric Plante.

31Device Driver Status
32--------------------
33
34A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
35some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
36Here's the current status of all included drivers:

38
39Driver			Status
40----------------------	---------------------
41XMesa (Xlib)		implements OpenGL 1.4
42OSMesa (off-screen)	implements OpenGL 1.4
43FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2)	implements OpenGL 1.3
44SVGA			implements OpenGL 1.3
45Wind River UGL		implements OpenGL 1.3
46Windows/Win32		implements OpenGL 1.4
47DOS/DJGPP		implements OpenGL 1.3
48GGI			implements OpenGL 1.3
49DOS			implements OpenGL 1.4
50BeOS			needs updating (underway)
51Allegro			needs updating
52D3D			needs updating
53
54Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
55driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
