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