11 <H1>Mesa 7.3 Release Notes / TBD January 2009</H1>
14 Mesa 7.3 is a new development release.
15 Users especially concerned with stability should stick with latest
16 stable release: version 7.2.
19 Mesa 7.3 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
20 glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
21 Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
24 See the <a href="install.html">Compiling/Installing page</a> for prerequisites
25 for DRI ardware acceleration.
