Mesa 4.0 Implements OpenGL 1.3 Spec

Posted by timothy on from the three-dee-goodness dept.

Perhaps the next revision of the OpenGL specification will say "Now fully compliant with the Mesa 3D vision."

    The reason it happened so quick is that most of what went into OpenGL 1.3 has already been around as extensions for quite some time. Mesa had already implemented those extensions and only needed minimal changes to bring it into compliance with the new version of OpenGL.

      I'm sure that's what timothy knew, and was implying. Mesa is always pretty quick on the uptake when it comes to new features that OpenGL proper doesn't (yet) officially support.
