1660 <p>I've just upload the Mesa 3.2 beta 1 files to SourceForge at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3">http://sourceforge.net/project/filelist.php?group_id=3</a></p>
1661 <p>3.2 (note even number) is a stabilization release of Mesa 3.1 meaning it's mainly
1662 just bug fixes.</p>
1663 <p>Here's what's changed:</p>
1664 <pre>
1665     Bug fixes:
1666         - mixed drawing of lines and bitmaps sometimes had wrong colors
1667         - added missing glHintPGI() function
1668         - fixed a polygon culling bug
1669         - fixed bugs in gluPartialDisk()
1670         - Z values in selection mode were wrong
1671         - added missing tokens:
1672             GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_RANGE
1673             GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_GRANULARITY
1674             GL_SMOOTH_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE
1675             GL_SMOOTH_LINE_WIDTH_GRANULARITY
1676             GL_ALIASED_POINT_SIZE_RANGE
1677             GL_ALIASED_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE
1678         - fixed glCopyPixels when copying from back to front buffer
1679         - GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array tokens had _SGI suffix instead of _EXT
1680         - glDrawRangeElements(GL_LINES, 0, 1, 2, type, indices) was broken
1681         - glDeleteTextures() didn't decrement reference count correctly
1682         - GL_SRCA_ALPHA_SATURATE blend mode didn't work correctly
1683         - Actual depth of transformation matrix stacks was off by one
1684         - 24bpp visuals didn't address pixels correctly
1685         - mipmap level of detail (lambda) calculation simplified, more accurate
1686         - 101691 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE
1687         - 101928 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE (same fix as above)
1688         - 101808 - Non-glVertexArrays tristrip bug
1689         - 101971 - find_last_3f on Dec OSF (worked around)
1690         - 102369 - segv on dec osf (possibly a duplicate of the above)
1691         - 102893 - orientations of modelview cause segfault
1692     New:
1693         - updated SVGA Linux driver
1694         - added the MESA_FX_NO_SIGNALS env var, see docs/README.3DFX
1695         - build libGLw.a (Xt/OpenGL drawing area widget) library by default
1696         - changed -O2 to -O3 for a number of gcc configs
1697     Changes:
1698         - glXCopyContext's mask parameter is now unsigned long, per GLX spec
1699 </pre>

1701 <p>Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the
1702 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1703 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1714 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1715 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1716 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1717 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1718 Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1721 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1722 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1723 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1724 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1725 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1726 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1727 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1728 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1729 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1732 <p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
1733 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1734 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1756 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1757 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1758 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1764 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1765 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1766 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1767 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1768 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1769
1770 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1771 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1772 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1773 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1774 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1775

1777 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
