    Formerly known as Mesa 13.1-devel prior to switching to a new year-based versioning system...
    ... well that explains. I had compiled mesa-git just two days ago and was wondering why people were talking about version 17. (I hadn't stepped trough space-time portal after all.)

      Then you really need to read Phoronix more as the version switching was talked about several times going back to when it was first proposed last year

            Yup, with Phoronix one can be up to date about everything related to open source, from simple changelog about a new release to complex dev stuff. Thank you Michael! I visit phoronix everyday. I even enable JS sometimes on this website to actually see the adds as those usually contain interesting tech

              I've been reading Phoronix on a daily basis for Years now (without it we're lost! :-) ). Leeching for such a long period = payback time.

              O.T. Havn't tried 17.0 yet, weekends 2do. Thanks fr Your great work Michael.

                Big change of version 17 is that versions 14, 15 and 16 are missing in action

                  They should've calles 17.0 14.0 instead. Then 17.2 would be 15.0 and 17.3 would be 16. That way the last version of 2017 would be 17.0 in Q4.
                  In 2018 they could just start with the new versioning scheme.

                    They should have just called it version "apple-slash-red5-slash-27," just to screw with people who care about version numbers. Who cares?
