1652 <p>Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the
1653 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1654 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1665 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1666 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1667 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1668 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks

1672 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1673 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1674 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1675 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1676 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1677 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1678 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1679 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1680 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1707 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1708 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1709 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1715 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1716 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1717 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1718 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1719 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1720
1721 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1722 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1723 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1724 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1725 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1726

1728 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
