1191<p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <a href="ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz">MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</a>
1192and <a href="ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz">MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</a>,
1193that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1194are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1195Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1198<p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1199Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1200<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1201Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1202and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1203<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1204my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1205may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1206<p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1242<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1243US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1244Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1245newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1246
1247The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1248improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1249applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1250over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1251Mesa full time for some time to come.
1252

1254information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1258This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
