1631 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1632 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1633 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1640 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1641 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1642 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1643 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1644
1645 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1646 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1647 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1648 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1649 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1650

1652 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1656 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1657 grateful.
