| 4 | Mesa 7.8 is a new development release. People who are concerned with

| 8 | Mesa 7.8 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
|
|---|
| 9 | glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
|
|---|
| 10 | Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
