[Mesa3d-announce] Mesa 4.0 released

[Brian P. <bri...@ya...>]

Mesa 4.0 is now available for download at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3

Mesa 4.0 (considered an even-numbered release) is a stabilization of the
last development release, 3.5 (odd-numbered).

The major version number has been bumped to 4 to indicate support for
OpenGL 1.3.  This follows the pattern:

   Mesa 1.x  ==  OpenGL 1.0
   Mesa 2.x  ==  OpenGL 1.1
   Mesa 3.x  ==  OpenGL 1.2
   Mesa 4.x  ==  OpenGL 1.3

The new features of OpenGL 1.3 (and Mesa 4.0) are:
   GL_ARB_multisample
   GL_ARB_multitexture
   GL_ARB_texture_border_clamp
   GL_ARB_texture_compression
   GL_ARB_texture_cube_map
   GL_ARB_texture_env_add
   GL_ARB_texture_env_combine
   GL_ARB_texture_env_dot3
   GL_ARB_transpose_matrix

Mesa 4.0 also adds:
   GL_IBM_rasterpos_clip
   GL_ARB_texture_mirrored_repeat

For full details of what's new in 4.0 see the Mesa/docs/VERSIONS and
Mesa/docs/RELNOTES-4.0 files.

PS: I had intended to get 4.0 out the door quite a while ago but with
the lay-off, vacation, etc. it just took longer.
