1404 <p>I've just upload the Mesa 3.2 beta 1 files to SourceForge at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3">http://sourceforge.net/project/filelist.php?group_id=3</a></p>
1405 <p>3.2 (note even number) is a stabilization release of Mesa 3.1 meaning it's mainly
1406 just bug fixes.</p>
1407 <p>Here's what's changed:</p>
1408 <pre>
1409 Bug fixes:
1410 - mixed drawing of lines and bitmaps sometimes had wrong colors
1411 - added missing glHintPGI() function
1412 - fixed a polygon culling bug
1413 - fixed bugs in gluPartialDisk()
1414 - Z values in selection mode were wrong
1415 - added missing tokens:
1416 GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_RANGE
1417 GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_GRANULARITY
1418 GL_SMOOTH_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE
1419 GL_SMOOTH_LINE_WIDTH_GRANULARITY
1420 GL_ALIASED_POINT_SIZE_RANGE
1421 GL_ALIASED_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE
1422 - fixed glCopyPixels when copying from back to front buffer
1423 - GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array tokens had _SGI suffix instead of _EXT
1424 - glDrawRangeElements(GL_LINES, 0, 1, 2, type, indices) was broken
1425 - glDeleteTextures() didn't decrement reference count correctly
1426 - GL_SRCA_ALPHA_SATURATE blend mode didn't work correctly
1427 - Actual depth of transformation matrix stacks was off by one
1428 - 24bpp visuals didn't address pixels correctly
1429 - mipmap level of detail (lambda) calculation simplified, more accurate
1430 - 101691 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE
1431 - 101928 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE (same fix as above)
1432 - 101808 - Non-glVertexArrays tristrip bug
1433 - 101971 - find_last_3f on Dec OSF (worked around)
1434 - 102369 - segv on dec osf (possibly a duplicate of the above)
1435 - 102893 - orientations of modelview cause segfault
1436 New:
1437 - updated SVGA Linux driver
1438 - added the MESA_FX_NO_SIGNALS env var, see docs/README.3DFX
1439 - build libGLw.a (Xt/OpenGL drawing area widget) library by default
1440 - changed -O2 to -O3 for a number of gcc configs
1441 Changes:
1442 - glXCopyContext's mask parameter is now unsigned long, per GLX spec
1443 </pre>
1444
1445 <p>Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the
1446 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1447 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1457 <h2>September 21, 1999</h2>
1458 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1459 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1460 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1461 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1462 Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1465 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1466 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1467 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1468 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1469 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1470 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1471 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1472 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1473 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1476 <p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
1477 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1478 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1500 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1501 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1502 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1508 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1509 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1510 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1511 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1512 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1513
1514 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1515 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1516 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1517 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1518 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1519

1521 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1525 This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1526 grateful.
