Mesa 11.2.0 Release Notes / 4 April 2016
========================================

Mesa 11.2.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
for Mesa 11.2.1.

Mesa 11.2.0 implements the OpenGL 4.1 API, but the version reported by
glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being
used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL
4.1. OpenGL 4.1 is **only** available if requested at context creation
because compatibility contexts are not supported.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or later is now required for building on
Windows. Previously, Visual Studio 2008 and later were supported.
