| 1 | Mesa 9.0 Release Notes / October 8, 2012
|
|---|
| 2 | ========================================
|
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | Mesa 9.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
|
|---|
| 5 | stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
|
|---|
| 6 | for Mesa 9.0.1.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by
|
|---|
| 9 | glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
|
|---|
| 10 | glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being
|
|---|
| 11 | used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
|
|---|
| 12 | 3.1. OpenGL 3.1 is **only** available if requested at context creation
|
|---|
| 13 | because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.
