+Introduction
+------------
+
+Mesa uses an even/odd version number scheme like the Linux kernel.
+Odd numbered versions (such as 5.1) designate new developmental releases.
+Even numbered versions (such as 6.0) designate stable releases.
+
+Mesa version 6.0 signifies two things:
+
+  1. A stabilization of the 5.1 development release
+  2. Implementation of the OpenGL 1.5 specification.  When you query
+     glGetString(GL_VERSION) "1.5" will be returned (as long as the
+     driver supports all the required features).
+
+
+Note that the Mesa major version number is incremented with the OpenGL
+minor version number:
+
+   Mesa 1.x  ==  OpenGL 1.0
+   Mesa 2.x  ==  OpenGL 1.1
+   Mesa 3.x  ==  OpenGL 1.2
+   Mesa 4.x  ==  OpenGL 1.3
+   Mesa 5.x  ==  OpenGL 1.4
+   Mesa 6.x  ==  OpenGL 1.5
+
+
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+Mesa 5.1 already had all the new features of OpenGL 1.5, implemented as
+extensions.  These extensions were simply promoted to standard features:
+
+   GL_ARB_occlusion_query extension
+   GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two extension
+   GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object extension
+   GL_EXT_shadow_funcs
+
+
+
+Device Drivers
+--------------
+
+Mesa advertises itself as either OpenGL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.3 depending on
+the device driver.  For example, if the driver enables all the ARB
+extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION)
+will return "1.3".  Otherwise, it'll return "1.2".
+
+A number of Mesa's software drivers haven't been actively maintained for
+some time.  We rely on volunteers to maintain many of the drivers.
+Here's the current status of all included drivers:
+
+
+Driver			Status
