7*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
8*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerMesa 8.0 implements the OpenGL 3.0 API, but the version reported by
9*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerglGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.

44*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerChanges
45*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-------
46*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
47*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-  Removed all DRI drivers that did not support DRI2. Specifically,
48*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker   i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome were
49*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker   removed.
50*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-  Removed support for BeOS.
51*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-  Removed the obsolete (and unmaintained) Windows "gldirect" and "ICD"
52*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker   drivers.
53*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-  Removed the linux-fbdev software driver.
54*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-  Removed all remnants of paletted texture support. As required by
55*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker   desktop OpenGL, ``GL_COLOR_INDEX`` data can still be uploaded to a
56*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker   color (e.g., RGBA) texture. However, the data cannot be stored
57*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker   internally as color-index.
58*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-  Removed support for GL_APPLE_client_storage extension.
59*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-  Removed the classic Mesa r300 and r600 drivers, which are superseded
60*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker   by the gallium drivers for this hardware.
61*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker-  Removed the dead Gallium i965, cell and failover drivers, which were
62*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker   either broken and with nobody in sight to fix the situation or
63*61046927SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker   deprecated.
