1399 Mesa's directory tree has been overhauled.
1400 Things are better organized now with some thought toward future needs.
1401 </p>
1402 <p>
1403 In CVS, the latest Mesa 5.1 development code is now rooted under the
1404 <b>Mesa-newtree/</b> directory.  The old top-level <b>Mesa/</b> directory
1405 holds the Mesa 5.0.x code which will be abandoned at some point.

1955 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1956 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1957 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1958 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1959
1960 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1961 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1962 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1963 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1964 Mesa full time for some time to come.

1967 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
