| Mesa 4.0.2 release notes |

| March 25, 2002 |

| PLEASE READ!!!! |

| |
| Introduction |
| ------------ |
| |
| Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel. |
| Odd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases. |
| Even numbered versions (such as 3.4) designate stable releases. |
| |
| Mesa 4.0.2 only contains bug fixes and a new DOS driver since version 4.0.1. |
| |
| See the docs/VERSIONS file for the list of bug fixes. |
| |
| |
| Device Drivers |
| -------------- |
| |
| Mesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on the |
| device driver. If the driver enables all the ARB extensions which are part |
| of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) will return "1.3". Otherwise, |
| it'll return "1.2". |
| |
| A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for |
| some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers. |
| Here's the current status of all included drivers: |
| |
