+<H1>Mesa 7.2.1 Release Notes / (date tbd)</H1>
+
+<p>
+Mesa 7.2.1 is a stable release fixing bugs found in 7.2.
+</p>
+<p>
+Mesa 7.2.1 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
+glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
+Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that this version of Mesa does not use the GEM memory manager.
+The master branch of git uses GEM.
+The prototype DRI2 code that was in 7.1 has also been removed.
+</p>
+<p>
+DRM version 2.3.1 should be used with Mesa 7.2
+</p>

+<h2>To Do (someday) items</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>Remove the MEMCPY() and _mesa_memcpy() wrappers and just use memcpy().
+Probably do the same for malloc, calloc, etc.
+The wrappers were useful in the past for memory debugging but now we
+have valgrind.  Not worried about SunOS 4 support anymore either...
+<li>Switch to freeglut
+<li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
+<li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
