1627 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1628 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1651 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1652 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1659 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1660 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1661 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1662 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1663
1664 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1665 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1666 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1667 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1668 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1669
1670 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1671 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1675 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1676 grateful.
