1620 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1621 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1644 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1645 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1652 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1653 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1654 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1655 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1656
1657 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1658 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1659 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1660 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1661 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1662
1663 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1664 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1668 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1669 grateful.
