Erik Faye-Lund 4d066836e3 docs: convert articles to reructuredtext
This uses the previously added scripts to convert the documentation to
reStructuredText, which is both easier to read offline, and can be used
to generate modern HTML for online documentation.

No modification to the generated results have been done.

Mesa 7.6 Release Notes, 28 September 2009
=========================================
Mesa 7.6 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
for Mesa 7.6.1.
Mesa 7.6 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.
See the `Compiling/Installing page <../install.html>`__ for
prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.

New features
------------
- OpenVG front-end (state tracker for Gallium). This was written by
Zack Rusin at Tungsten Graphics.
- GL_ARB_vertex_array_object and GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object
extensions (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI drivers, and
software drivers)
- GL_ARB_copy_buffer extension (supported in Gallium drivers, Intel DRI
drivers, and software drivers)
- GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension (supported in Gallium drivers,
Intel DRI drivers, and software drivers)
- GL_ARB_seamless_cube_map extension (supported in software drivers and
i965 drivers)
- GL_ARB_vertex_array_bgra (ARB synonym for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra)
- GL_ARB_sync (supported in software drivers and Intel DRI drivers)
- GL_EXT_provoking_vertex extension (supported in Gallium, i915, i965,
and software drivers)
- Rewritten radeon/r200/r300 driver using a buffer manager
- radeon/r200/r300 GL_EXT_framebuffer_object support when used with
kernel memory manager
- radeon/r200/r300 support for GL_ARB_occlusion_query
- r300 driver supports OpenGL 1.5
- r300 driver support for GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_EXT_texture_sRGB
- i915/945 driver support for GL_ARB_point_sprite,
GL_EXT_stencil_two_side and GL_ATI_separate_stencil extensions
- Rewritten assembler for GL_ARB_vertex_program /
GL_ARB_fragment_program.
- Added configure --with-max-width=W, --with-max-height=H options to
specify max framebuffer, viewport size.
- Initial version of Gallium llvmpipe driver. This is a new driver
based on LLVM which makes exensive use of run-time code generation.
This is an "alpha" stage driver. See the
src/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe/README file for more information.
Bug fixes
---------
- i965 DRI driver fixes, including support for "unlimited" size
constant buffers (GLSL uniforms)
