 549 2.0 Shading Language and will be included in the next Mesa release.
 550 In conjunction, <a href="http://glean.sf.net">Glean</a> has been updated
 551 with a new test that does over 130 tests of the
 552 shading language and built-in functions.

1567 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1568 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1569 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1570 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1571
1572 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1573 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1574 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1575 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1576 Mesa full time for some time to come.
