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
|
|
DOS implements OpenGL 1.4
|
|
BeOS needs updating (underway)
|
|
Allegro needs updating
|
|
D3D 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.
