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.

New Features
------------
- OpenGL Shading language support
This includes the GL_ARB_shader_objects, GL_ARB_shading_language_100,
GL_ARB_vertex_shader and GL_ARB_fragment_shader extensions. Most of
the work was done by Michal Krol. There's probably a fair number of
bugs since this is a pretty large, complicated body of code.
The OpenGL 2.0 interface to these features will be implemented in a
future version of Mesa,
- GL_EXT_timer_query
Used to measure the time of OpenGL operations at high precision. Only
supported in the software/Xlib driver at this time.
- GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil
Defines a new GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_EXT pixel format.
- GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit
A simplified glCopyPixels-like feature for copying pixel rectangles.
- GL_ARB_half_float_pixel
Adds a new half-precision floating point format for image transfers,
such as for glDrawPixels, glReadPixels, glTexImage, etc.
Changes
-------
- removed GL_HP_occlusion_test (use GL_ARB_occlusion_query instead)
- removed GL_SGIX/SGIS_pixel_texture extensions
Bug fixes
---------
- fixed glxcontextmodes.c datatype problem (bug 5835)
- fixed aix-gcc build/install bugs (bug 5874)
- fixed some bugs in texture env program generation
- glXCopyContext() didn't handle texture object bindings properly
- glXCopyContext() didn't copy all lighting state
- fixed FreeBSD config (Pedro Giffuni)
- fixed some minor framebuffer object bugs
- replaced dprintf() with \_glu_printf() in GLU (bug 6244)
- fixed a number of thread safety bugs/regressions
- fixed a number of GLU tesselator bugs (John Shell, bug 6339)
- paletted texturing was broken w/ floating point palettes (K. Schultz)
- lots of assorted framebuffer object bug fixes
Known Issues
------------
- Rendering to depth textures will not work. Rendering to
GL_DEPTH_STENCIL textures should work.
Driver Interface Changes
------------------------
- Stencil: The Driver.StencilOp/Func/Mask() functions have been
replaced by the two-sided versions: Driver.Stencil*Separate().
- Render-to-texture: The functions for rendering to textures have
changed.
To Do (someday) items
---------------------
- Switch to freeglut
- Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
- Fix linux-glide target/driver.
- Fix lambda calculation for frag progs.
