1308<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>
1309and <a href="ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz">MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</a>,
1310that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1311are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1312Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1315<p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1316Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1317<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1318Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1319and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1320<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1321my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1322may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1323<p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1326<p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
1327Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1328means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1351If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1352optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1358<h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1359<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1360US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1361Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1362newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1363
1364The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1365improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1366applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1367over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1368Mesa full time for some time to come.
1369

1371information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1375This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1376grateful.
