Erik Faye-Lund 4d066836e3 docs: convert articles to reructuredtext
This uses the previously added scripts to convert the documentation to
reStructuredText, which is both easier to read offline, and can be used
to generate modern HTML for online documentation.

No modification to the generated results have been done.

Mesa 7.7 Release Notes / 21 December 2009
=========================================
Mesa 7.7 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
for Mesa 7.7.1.
Mesa 7.7 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 `Compiling/Installing page <../install.html>`__ for
prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.

New features
------------
- VMware "SVGA" Gallium driver. This is a Gallium3D driver which
targets the VMware virtual graphics device. It allows Linux OpenGL
guest applications to utilize the 3D graphics hardware of the host
operating system.
- GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex (supported in Intel i965 and
software drivers)
- GL_ARB_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)
- GL_NV_depth_clamp (supported in Intel i965 DRI and software drivers)
- GL_ARB_provoking_vertex (same as GL_EXT_provoking_vertex)
- Wavefront .obj file loader/viewer demo (progs/demos/objviewer)
Bug fixes
---------
- Many assorted i965 driver fixes.
- Many r300-gallium driver fixes; this driver is now considered
unstable-quality instead of experimental-quality.
Changes
-------
- New Mesa texture/surface format infrastructure
- Removed some unused Mesa device driver hooks
