 886 <p>
 887 In CVS, the latest Mesa 5.1 development code is now rooted under the
 888 <b>Mesa-newtree/</b> directory.  The old top-level <b>Mesa/</b> directory

1439 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1440 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1441 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1442 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1443
1444 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1445 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1446 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1447 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1448 Mesa full time for some time to come.

1451 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
