Mesa 7.5 Finally Released w/ New Features
,----[ Quote ]
| After being in development for a number of months and being challenged by a
| few delays, Mesa 7.5 was officially released last night. What's most
| significant about this milestone is that it's the first release to include
| the Gallium3D architecture. The Gallium3D drivers are still incomplete and
| there are many state trackers to be added, but this code for the
| next-generation Linux graphics card drivers is now living in mainline Mesa.

| will then go to make Mesa 7.4.

Mesa 7.2 Has Been Released
,----[ Quote ]
| Following last month's release of Mesa 7.1, Tungsten Graphics began working
| on Mesa 7.2, which is a stabilized version of this OpenGL implementation that
| had picked up 3D support for the ATI Radeon R500 and Intel GMA 4-Series. Mesa
| 7.1 also marked the switch to an autoconf build system,
| GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for Xlib driver, GLSL support for the
| Intel 965, and various other improvements.

Mesa 7.2 Release Candidate 1
,----[ Quote ]
| Released in late August was Mesa 7.1, which was the first release of this
| open-source OpenGL library with an autoconf-based configuration system,
| various DRI driver enhancements, GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for the
| Xlib driver, GLSL for Intel's 965 Chipset, and ATI R500 series support. This
| release was also important since it was a prerequisite for the X.Org 7.4 / X
| Server 1.5.0 release. Out this weekend though is Mesa 7.2 Release Candidate
| 1.

Mesa 7.0 released
,----[ Quote ]
| This release is quite important for me since I really would like to play
| Secret Mayro, but that requires OpenGL 1.4 at least to work properly.
| Also, the free drivers now finally reach the proprietary drivers in
| terms of OpenGL support since the proprietary Linux drivers from AMD
| and Nvidia feature OpenGL 2.0 support for quite some time.

Short Overview: Current State of Mesa and OpenGL on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| In any case, the new Mesa will be released soon. And since it will be
| the first main release after 3 years we can expect a lot of news
| coverage, maybe even an interview or two and quite some information
| about the road map of Mesa and even OpenGL.
