| <h1>Mesa 7.8 Release Notes / March 28, 2010</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Mesa 7.8 is a new development release. |
| People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick |
| with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.8.1. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Mesa 7.8 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by |
| glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. |
| Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites |
| for DRI hardware acceleration. |
| </p> |
