1402 GL_ALIASED_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE
1403 - fixed glCopyPixels when copying from back to front buffer
1404 - GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array tokens had _SGI suffix instead of _EXT
1405 - glDrawRangeElements(GL_LINES, 0, 1, 2, type, indices) was broken
1406 - glDeleteTextures() didn't decrement reference count correctly
1407 - GL_SRCA_ALPHA_SATURATE blend mode didn't work correctly
1408 - Actual depth of transformation matrix stacks was off by one
1409 - 24bpp visuals didn't address pixels correctly
1410 - mipmap level of detail (lambda) calculation simplified, more accurate
1411 - 101691 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE
1412 - 101928 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE (same fix as above)
1413 - 101808 - Non-glVertexArrays tristrip bug
1414 - 101971 - find_last_3f on Dec OSF (worked around)
1415 - 102369 - segv on dec osf (possibly a duplicate of the above)
1416 - 102893 - orientations of modelview cause segfault
1417 New:
1418 - updated SVGA Linux driver
1419 - added the MESA_FX_NO_SIGNALS env var, see docs/README.3DFX
1420 - build libGLw.a (Xt/OpenGL drawing area widget) library by default

Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001490<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1491US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1492Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1493newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1494
1495The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1496improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1497applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1498over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1499Mesa full time for some time to come.
