+                            Mesa 5.0 release notes
+
+                              November ??, 2002
+
+                                PLEASE READ!!!!
+
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases.
+Odd-numbered versions (such as 4.1) designate new developmental releases.
+
+Mesa 5.0 is basically just a stabilization of Mesa 4.1.  To see a list of
+bug fixes, etc. see the VERSIONS file.
+
+
+
+New Features in Mesa 5.0
+------------------------
+
+Mesa 5.0 supports OpenGL 1.4.  Note Mesa's versioning convention:
+
+   OpenGL Version    Mesa Version
+   ------------------------------
+        1.0             1.x
+        1.1             2.x
+        1.2             3.x
+        1.3             4.x
+        1.4             5.x
+
+OpenGL 1.4 (and Mesa 5.0) incorporates the following OpenGL extensions as
+standard features:
+
+       GL_ARB_depth_texture
+       GL_ARB_shadow
+       GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar
+       GL_ARB_texture_mirror_repeat
+       GL_ARB_window_pos
+       GL_EXT_blend_color
+       GL_EXT_blend_func_separate
+       GL_EXT_blend_logic_op
+       GL_EXT_blend_minmax
+       GL_EXT_blend_subtract
+       GL_EXT_fog_coord
+       GL_EXT_multi_draw_arrays
+       GL_EXT_point_parameters
+       GL_EXT_secondary_color
+       GL_EXT_stencil_wrap
+       GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap
+
+
+
+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
+---------------------- ---------------------
+XMesa (Xlib)           implements OpenGL 1.4
+OSMesa (off-screen)    implements OpenGL 1.4
+FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2)    implements OpenGL 1.3
+SVGA                   implements OpenGL 1.3
+Wind River UGL         implements OpenGL 1.3
+Windows/Win32          implements OpenGL 1.4
+DOS/DJGPP              implements OpenGL 1.3
+GGI                    implements OpenGL 1.3
+BeOS                   needs updating (underway)
+Allegro                        needs updating
+D3D                    needs updating
+DOS                    needs updating
+
+Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
+driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
