## Changes

- The libOSMesa library version has been reverted to 6.5.3 (soname=6) in order to avoid application linking issues. Otherwise, applications previously linked with libOSMesa.so.6 would no longer link with libOSMesa.so.7
- Dropped obsolete, unmaintained Windows project files for VC6 and VC7.

## To Do (someday) items

- Switch to freeglut
- Fix linux-glide target/driver.
- Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
