Status of OpenGL 3.x features in Mesa


Note: when an item is marked as "DONE" it means all the core Mesa
infrastructure is complete but it may be the case that few (if any) drivers
implement the features.


OpenGL Core and Compatibility context support

OpenGL 3.1 and later versions are only supported with the Core profile.
There are no plans to support GL_ARB_compatibility. The last supported OpenGL
version with all deprecated features is 3.0. Some of the later GL features
are exposed in the 3.0 context as extensions.
