+While the driver for Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge is the only
+driver to support OpenGL 3.1, many developers across the open-source
+community contributed features required for OpenGL 3.1. The primary
+features added since the Mesa 8.0 release are
+GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object and GL_ARB_uniform_buffer_object.
