Mesa 7.8 Release Notes / March 28, 2010
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
Mesa 7.8 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
|
|
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
|
|
for Mesa 7.8.1.
|
|
|
|
Mesa 7.8 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 :doc:`Compiling/Installing page <../install>` for
|
|
prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.
