"Beyond introducing Gallium3D, Mesa 7.5 also brings support for
several new OpenGL extensions, reworked two-sided stencil support,
updated SPARC assembly optimizations, initial support for separate
compilation units in GLSL compiler, and various other fixes and
optimizations. Some of the OpenGL extensions now supported in Mesa
include GL_ARB_framebuffer_object, GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra,
GL_NV_texture_env_combine4, and GL_EXT_texture_swizzle. These
extensions are supported in the software drivers and then (sadly)
just the Intel 3D driver."
