Mesa 5.1 release notes
Month day, 2003
PLEASE READ!!!!
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.

Bug fixes
---------
See the VERSIONS file for a list of bugs fixed in this release.

GL_ATI_texture_env_combine3 extension
This adds a few new texture combine modes.
Contributed by Ian Romanick.

GL_SGI_texture_color_table
2003-02-13 16:01:33 +00:00
Adds a color table lookup to the RGBA texture path. There's a separate
color table for each texture unit.

GL_NV_fragment_program
NVIDIA's fragment-level programming feature.
Source File Changes
-------------------
The mmath.[ch] files are obsolete. Their contents have been moved
into the imports.[ch] and macros.[ch] files.
The files related to vertex and fragment programming have changed.
Old files:
vpexec.[ch]
vpparse.[ch]
vpstate.[ch]
New files:
nvvertprog.h - NV vertex program definitions
nvfragprog.h - NV fragment program definitions
nvvertparse.[ch] - NV vertex program parser
nvfragparse.[ch] - NV fragment program parser
nvprogram.[ch] - NV program API functions
nvvertexec.[ch] - NV vertex program execution
swrast/s_nvfragprog.[ch] - NV fragment program execution
2003-03-29 16:39:52 +00:00
Removed files:
swrast/s_historgram.[ch] - moved into src/histogram.c

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
2003-03-11 15:34:42 +00:00
DJGPP implements OpenGL 1.4
2002-12-18 14:57:34 +00:00
GGI implements OpenGL 1.3
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.
