15<p>
16Mesa 7.11 is a new development release.
17People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
18with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.11.1.
19</p>
20<p>
21Mesa 7.11 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
22glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
23Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
