+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Even-numbered versions (such as 5.0) designate stable releases.
+Odd-numbered versions (such as 5.1) designate new developmental releases.
+
+
+New Features in Mesa 5.1
+------------------------
+
+
+
+
+Device Driver Status
+--------------------
+
+A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
+some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of these drivers.
+Here's the current status of all included drivers:
+
+
+Driver			Status
+----------------------	---------------------
+XMesa (Xlib)		implements OpenGL 1.4
+OSMesa (off-screen)	implements OpenGL 1.4
+FX (3dfx Voodoo1/2)	implements OpenGL 1.3
+SVGA			implements OpenGL 1.3
+Wind River UGL		implements OpenGL 1.3
+Windows/Win32		implements OpenGL 1.4
+DOS/DJGPP		implements OpenGL 1.3
+GGI			implements OpenGL 1.3
+DOS			implements OpenGL 1.4
+BeOS			needs updating (underway)
+Allegro			needs updating
+D3D			needs updating
+
+Note: supporting OpenGL 1.4 (vs. 1.3 or 1.2) usually only requires that the
+driver call the _mesa_enable_1_4_extensions() function.
