1948 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1949 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1950 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1951 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1952 Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1955 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1956 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1957 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1958 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1959 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1960 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1961 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1962 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1963 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1998 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1999 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
2000 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
2001 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
2002 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
2003
2004 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
2005 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
2006 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
2007 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
2008 Mesa full time for some time to come.
2009

2011 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
