Erik Faye-Lund ecdab0dfea docs: drop h1 in header
It's generally frowned upon to have more than one H1 per document in
HTML4. So let's put the text directly inside the header. This means we
can drop the flex-based centering, which makes things a bit easier. We
also need to change the padding to rem instead of em, because the em has
now changed.

<h1>Mesa 8.0 Release Notes / February 9, 2012</h1>
<p>
Mesa 8.0 is a new development release.
People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
with a previous release or wait for Mesa 8.0.1.
</p>
<p>
Mesa 8.0 implements the OpenGL 3.0 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 3.0.
</p>
<p>
See the <a href="../install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
for DRI hardware acceleration.

</ul>
<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
<h2>Changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>Removed all DRI drivers that did not support DRI2. Specifically,
i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome were
removed.</li>
<li>Removed support for BeOS.</li>
<li>Removed the obsolete (and unmaintained) Windows "gldirect" and
"ICD" drivers.</li>
<li>Removed the linux-fbdev software driver.</li>
<li>Removed all remnants of paletted texture support. As required by
desktop OpenGL, <tt>GL_COLOR_INDEX</tt> data can still be uploaded
to a color (e.g., RGBA) texture. However, the data cannot be stored
internally as color-index.</li>
<li>Removed support for GL_APPLE_client_storage extension.</li>
<li>Removed the classic Mesa r300 and r600 drivers, which are superseded
by the gallium drivers for this hardware.</li>
<li>Removed the dead Gallium i965, cell and failover drivers, which were
either broken and with nobody in sight to fix the situation or
deprecated.</li>
</ul>
