PLEASE READ!!!!

Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
|
|
Even numbered versions (such as 4.0) designate stable releases.
|
|
Odd numbered versions (such as 4.1) designate new developmental releases.
|
|

|
New Features in Mesa 4.1
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
New extensions. Docs at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/
|
|
|
|
GL_NV_vertex_program
|
|
|
|
NVIDIA's vertex programming extension
|
|
|
|
GL_NV_vertex_program1_1
|
|
|
|
A few features built on top of GL_NV_vertex_program
|
|
|
|
GL_ARB_window_pos
|
|
|
|
This is the ARB-approved version of GL_MESA_window_pos
|
|
|
|
GL_ARB_depth_texture
|
|
|
|
This is the ARB-approved version of GL_SGIX_depth_texture.
|
|
It allows depth (Z buffer) data to be stored in textures.
|
|
This is used by GL_ARB_shadow
|
|
|
|
GL_ARB_shadow
|
|
|
|
Shadow mapping with depth textures.
|
|
This is the ARB-approved version of GL_SGIX_shadow.
|
|
|
|
GL_ARB_shadow_ambient
|
|
|
|
Allows one to specify the luminance of shadowed pixels.
|
|
This is the ARB-approved version of GL_SGIX_shadow_ambient.
|
|
|
|
GL_EXT_shadow_funcs
|
|
|
|
Extends the set of GL_ARB_shadow texture comparision functions to
|
|
include all eight of standard OpenGL dept-test functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Device Driver Status
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
|
|
some time. We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
|
|
Here's the current status of all included drivers:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Driver Status
