<H1>Mesa 6.5.1 Release Notes</H1>
<H2>Introduction</H2>
<p>
Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
Odd numbered versions (such as 6.5) designate new developmental releases.
Even numbered versions (such as 6.4) designate stable releases.
</p>
<p>
Mesa 6.5.1 is a 6.5 follow-on development release mostly consisting of
bug fixes (See the versions.html file)
</p>
<h2>New Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Intel i965 "broadwater" DRI driver
<li>GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object - allows encapsulation of a set of vertex
arrays in an object.
<li>GL_EXT_texture_sRGB - non-linearly mapped texture formats
<li>GL_EXT_gpu_program_parameters - addes a few new functions for setting
multiple vertex/fragment program parameters with one call.
</ul>
<h2>Internal code changes</h2>
<p>
A number of Mesa program-related structs were renamed.
For example <i>struct vertex_program</i> is now <i>struct gl_vertex_program</i>.
All the effected drivers have been updated.
</p>
<p>Ian Romanick updated the GL API dispatch code in a number of ways.
First, many old/unused extensions were removed.
Second, the static entrypoints for some extensions were removed.
This means GL function pointers will have to be used more often
(e.g. use glXGetProcAddressARB()).
</p>
<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
<ul>
<li>Switch to freeglut
<li>Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
<li>Fix lambda calculation for frag progs.
</ul>
<h2>Driver Status</h2>
<pre>
Driver Status
---------------------- ----------------------
DRI drivers varies with the driver
XMesa/GLX (on Xlib) implements OpenGL 1.5
OSMesa (off-screen) implements OpenGL 1.5
Glide (3dfx Voodoo1/2) implements OpenGL 1.3
SVGA implements OpenGL 1.3
Wind River UGL implements OpenGL 1.3
Windows/Win32 implements OpenGL 1.5
DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.5
GGI implements OpenGL 1.3
BeOS implements OpenGL 1.5
Allegro needs updating
D3D needs updating
