Erik Faye-Lund 4d066836e3 docs: convert articles to reructuredtext
This uses the previously added scripts to convert the documentation to
reStructuredText, which is both easier to read offline, and can be used
to generate modern HTML for online documentation.

No modification to the generated results have been done.

Mesa 9.0 Release Notes / October 8, 2012
========================================
Mesa 9.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
for Mesa 9.0.1.
Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 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
3.1. OpenGL 3.1 is **only** available if requested at context creation
because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.

New features
------------
Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers.
- Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver
- Added new Gallium3D - radeonsi driver
- Added OpenCL state tracker Clover
- Completed VDPAU state tracker (video decoding support is currently
limited to MPEG1 and MPEG2)
- GL_ARB_base_instance
- GL_ARB_blend_func_extended
- GL_ARB_debug_output
- GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation. This
extension is always enabled in all drivers.
- GL_ARB_shader_bit_encoding
- GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object
- GL_ARB_timer_query
- GL_ARB_transform_feedback3
- GL_ARB_transform_feedback_instanced
- GL_ARB_uniform_buffer_object
- GL_EXT_unpack_subimage for ES 2.0
- GL_EXT_read_format_bgra for ES 1.1 and 2.0
- GL_EXT_texture_rg for ES 2.x
- GL_NV_read_buffer for ES 2.0
- GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness
- EGL_KHR_create_context
- EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the
EGL_KHR_surfaceless_{gles1,gles2,opengl} extensions that were never
approved by Khronos.
- EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness
Bug fixes
---------
TBD -- This list is likely incomplete.
Changes
-------
- The legacy/static Makefile system (ex: 'make linux-dri') has been
removed. The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake
and SCons.
- Removed support for GL_ARB_shadow_ambient extension
- Removed Gallium3D - nvfx driver (use nv30 instead)
- libGLU has been moved into its own repository, found at
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/
