11 <H1>Mesa 7.6 Release Notes / date TBD</H1>
14 Mesa 7.6 is a new development release.
15 People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
16 with a previous release or wait for Mesa 7.6.1.
19 Mesa 7.6 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 hardware acceleration.
