Opengl Mesa : use opengl 4.0

Question

I'm an opengl programmer, and I would like to use opengl 4.0; problem is that I cannot install any proprietary drivers, and when I type : glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" in the terminal, it outputs me :

OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 10.5.2
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)

Can anyone tell me how I could update mesa to 4.x+ ?

EDit :

lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1972
    Kernel driver in use: i915

Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' terminal command. — Pilot6, Jul 24 '15 at 10:42

OpenGL 4.0 is not supported in Linux for Intel graphics adapters yet.

4.1 should be supported by Mesa 11.0, that planned to be released in September 2015.

Ok.... and when wil the other version be supported ? like 4.4 ? – MattMatt Jul 24 '15 at 10:55
4.1 is planned to be supported in mesa 11. Nobody knows when 4.4 will be. – Pilot6 Jul 24 '15 at 10:56
Isn't there another way to program in opengl 4.4 ? – MattMatt Jul 24 '15 at 11:03
Buy an Nvidia card. 4.5 is already supported in linux. Probably AMD too. – Pilot6 Jul 24 '15 at 11:05
I bought an NVidia gtx750 TI card : now it works fine :) – MattMatt Nov 21 '15 at 11:03
