docs: move major versions history out of front-page
The features added in each major version is also unlikely the first things someone wants to know about Mesa. So let's move this into the versions.rst article. This documentation is severely out of date anyway, and as it doesn't seem like anyone is interested in documenting this any more, we should probably consider driopping versions.rst entirely in the longer run. But for now, this makes the front-page much more approachable. Reviewed-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/7709>

Major Versions
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is a summary of the major versions of Mesa. Mesa's major version
|
||||
number has been incremented whenever a new version of the OpenGL
|
||||
specification is implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 12.x features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Version 12.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 4.3 API, but not all drivers
|
||||
support OpenGL 4.3.
|
||||
|
||||
Initial support for Vulkan is also included.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 11.x features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Version 11.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 4.1 API, but not all drivers
|
||||
support OpenGL 4.1.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 10.x features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Version 10.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 3.3 API, but not all drivers
|
||||
support OpenGL 3.3.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 9.x features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Version 9.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 3.1 API. While the driver for
|
||||
Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge is the only driver to support OpenGL
|
||||
3.1, many developers across the open-source community contributed
|
||||
features required for OpenGL 3.1. The primary features added since the
|
||||
Mesa 8.0 release are GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object and
|
||||
GL_ARB_uniform_buffer_object.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 9.0 of Mesa also included the first release of the Clover state
|
||||
tracker for OpenCL.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 8.x features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Version 8.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 3.0 API. The developers at
|
||||
Intel deserve a lot of credit for implementing most of the OpenGL 3.0
|
||||
features in core Mesa, the GLSL compiler as well as the i965 driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 7.x features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Version 7.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 2.1 API. The main feature of
|
||||
OpenGL 2.x is the OpenGL Shading Language.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 6.x features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Version 6.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 1.5 API with the following
|
||||
extensions incorporated as standard features:
|
||||
|
||||
- GL_ARB_occlusion_query
|
||||
- GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object
|
||||
- GL_EXT_shadow_funcs
|
||||
|
||||
Also note that several OpenGL tokens were renamed in OpenGL 1.5 for the
|
||||
sake of consistency. The old tokens are still available.
