There's no reason to explicitly call out GL ES versions here, as these are all major versions there are, and it's very unlikely that more versions will emerge. Reviewed-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/7709>

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The Mesa project began as an open-source implementation of the
|
|
`OpenGL`_ specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.
|
|
|
|
Over the years the project has grown to implement more graphics APIs,
|
|
including `OpenGL ES`_, `OpenCL`_, `OpenMAX`_, `VDPAU`_, `VA API`_,
|
|
`XvMC`_ and `Vulkan`_.
|
|
|
|
A variety of device drivers allows the Mesa libraries to be used in many
|
|
different environments ranging from software emulation to complete
|
|
hardware acceleration for modern GPUs.
|
|
|
|
Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the `Direct Rendering
|
|
Infrastructure`_ and `X.org`_ to provide OpenGL support on Linux, FreeBSD
|
|
and other operating systems.
