			Mesa 6.5 Release Notes



Introduction
------------

Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
Odd numbered versions (such as 6.5) designate new developmental releases.
Even numbered versions (such as 6.4) designate stable releases.



New Features
------------

GL_EXT_timer_query  - used to get elapsed time information from the renderer.

GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil  - defines a new GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_EXT pixel format.

GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit  - simplified glCopyPixels-like feature



Known Issues
------------

Rendering to depth or depth/stencil textures will not work, results in
failed assertions, etc.



Driver Interface Changes
------------------------

Stencil: The Driver.StencilOp/Func/Mask() functions have been replaced by
the two-sided versions: Driver.Stencil*Separate().



To Do
-----
Fix linux-glide target/driver.
Fix lambda calculation for frag progs.




Removed Extensions
------------------

The following extensions have been removed:

  GL_HP_occlusion_test - this is superceded by GL_ARB_occlusion_query.



To Do (someday) items
---------------------
 Switch to freeglut
 Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS




Driver			Status
----------------------	----------------------
DRI drivers		varies with the driver
XMesa (Xlib)		implements OpenGL 1.5
OSMesa (off-screen)	implements OpenGL 1.5
Glide (3dfx Voodoo1/2)	implements OpenGL 1.3
SVGA			implements OpenGL 1.3
Wind River UGL		implements OpenGL 1.3
Windows/Win32		implements OpenGL 1.5
DJGPP			implements OpenGL 1.5
GGI			implements OpenGL 1.3
BeOS			implements OpenGL 1.5
Allegro			needs updating
D3D			needs updating
