The Mesa developers are as usual continuing their effort to get the open source Linux graphic drivers up to scratch. Intel Haswell (gen7) now has support for OpenGL 4.
The GL_ARB_gpu_shader_fp64 extension was holding it up, but it's now supported.
You can see this commit message where the magic happened.
I'm sure it won't be too long before it hits OpenGL 4.5 considering the pace of Mesa development. Looking at this doc it looks like GL_ARB_vertex_attrib_64bit is the last one on the list before Haswell can get OpenGL 4.1. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
