+Vertex/Fragment program debugger
+--------------------------------
+
+GL_MESA_program_debug is an experimental extension to support
+interactive debugging of vertex and fragment programs. See the
+docs/MESA_program_debug.spec file for details.
+
+The bulk of the vertex/fragment program debugger is implemented
+outside of Mesa. The GL_MESA_program_debug extension just has minimal
+hooks for stopping running programs and inspecting programs.
+
+The progs/tests/debugger.c (only in CVS) program is an example of how
+the extension can be used. Presently, the debugger code and demo code
+is in the same file. Eventually the debugger code should be moved
+into a reusable module.
+
+As it is now, the demo lets you set breakpoings in vertex/fragment
+programs, single step, and print intermediate register values. It's
+basically just a proof of concept.
+

+
+Directory tree reorganization
+-----------------------------
+
+The directory structure for Mesa has been overhauled to improve its layout.
+All source code for Mesa, GLU, GLUT, etc is now under the src/ directory
+in appropriate subdirectories.
+
+The Mesa source code and drivers has been reorganized under src/mesa/.
+
+All demonstration programs and tests are now in subdirectories under progs/.
