Mesa 3.3 release notes
July 21, 2000
PLEASE READ!!!!
Introduction
------------
Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
Odd numbered versions (such as 3.3) designate new developmental releases.
Even numbered versions (such as 3.2.1) designate stable releases.
Mesa 3.3 has a undergone many internal changes since version 3.2
and features a lot of new extensions. 3.3 is expected to be pretty
stable, but perhaps not as stable as 3.2 which has been used by
thousands of users over the past months.
Everyone is encouraged to try Mesa 3.3. Bugs should be reported to
the Mesa bug database on www.sourceforge.net.
Header file / GLenum changes

The glapitemp.h template should be reusable for all sorts of OpenGL
projects.
The new dispatch code has also optimized with x86 assembly code.
This optimization eliminates copying the function arguments during
dispatch.
New thread support

penalty for typical single-thread applications. See the glapi.c
file for details.
The Xlib driver (XMesa) is now thread-safe as well. Be sure to
call XInitThreads() in your app first. See the xdemos/glthreads.c
demo for an example.

OpenGL Conformance
------------------
Mesa now passes all the OpenGL 1.1 conformance tests, except for
antialiased lines. AA lines fail on some, but not all, the tests.
In order to fix the remaining failures, a new AA line algorithm will
be needed (which computes coverage values for end-point fragments).
This will be done for Mesa 3.5/3.6.
OpenGL 1.2 GL_ARB_imaging subset
--------------------------------
Mesa 3.3 implements all the features of GL_ARB_imaging except for
image convolution. This will (hopefully) be done for Mesa 3.5/3.6.
