13<p>
14Mesa 7.3 is a new development release.
15Users especially concerned with stability should stick with latest
16stable release: version 7.2.

18<p>
19Mesa 7.3 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
20glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
21Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
