862that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
863are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks

867<p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
868Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
869<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
870Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
871and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
872<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
873my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
874may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
875<p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

911<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
912US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
913Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
914newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
915
916The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
917improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
918applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
919over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
920Mesa full time for some time to come.
921

923information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

928grateful.
