14Mesa 7.6 is a new development release.
15People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
16with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.6.1.

18<p>
19Mesa 7.6 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.
