1490 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1491 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1492 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1493 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks

1497 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1498 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1499 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1500 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1501 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1502 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1503 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1504 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1505 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1540 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1541 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1542 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1543 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1544 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1545
1546 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1547 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1548 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1549 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1550 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1551

1553 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1557 This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1558 grateful.
