1982 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
1983 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
1985 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1986 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1987 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1988 over Mesa
