1173Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1174After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1185<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>
1186and <a href="ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz">MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</a>,
1187that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1188are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1189Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1192<p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1193Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1194<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1195Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1196and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1197<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1198my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1199may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1200<p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1204Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1205means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1236<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1237US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1238Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1239newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1240
1241The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1242improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1243applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1244over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1245Mesa full time for some time to come.
1246
1247For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1248information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1252This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1253grateful.
