Here are some highlights from the draft release notes:
* Mesa 4.0.4 is included for OpenGL(tm) support.
* AMD x86-64 support.
* Support for OpenBSD/sparc64.
* Major OS/2 support updates.
* 2D Acceleration for the Trident CyberBladeXP/Ai1 chipsets
* Intel 845G support for Xvideo, 2D and 3D.
* nVidia GeForce 4 support
* ATI Radeon 9x00 support for 2D and 3D excluding the
9500 and 9700 for 3D acceleration.
(Need comments about M7,M9 support ????)
* Major SiS driver updates for some of the latest chipsets.
Unfortunately the SiS 3D driver has had to be disabled.
No one took up the challenge to port the driver to Mesa 4.x.
* National Semiconductor SC1x00, GX1 and GX2 chipset support.
* Indirect GLX acceleration for the MacOS X Xserver.
* Rootless Xserver for Cygwin/XFree86 (experimental)
* An Xcursor library for alpha blended and animated cursors.
