Mesa 13.0 is still used in many distros who haven’t had the chance yet to move to the Mesa 17.0 branch, and the changes included in the upcoming Mesa 13.0.5 release promise better support for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, and other games, as it patches an important GLVND bug that’s present in previous versions of Mesa 13.0.
