1665 <h2>March 23, 2000</h2>
1666 <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>
1667 <p>3.2 (note even number) is a stabilization release of Mesa 3.1 meaning it's mainly
1668 just bug fixes.</p>
1669 <p>Here's what's changed:</p>
1670 <pre>
1671     Bug fixes:
1672         - mixed drawing of lines and bitmaps sometimes had wrong colors
1673         - added missing glHintPGI() function
1674         - fixed a polygon culling bug
1675         - fixed bugs in gluPartialDisk()
1676         - Z values in selection mode were wrong
1677         - added missing tokens:
1678             GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_RANGE
1679             GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_GRANULARITY
1680             GL_SMOOTH_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE

1684         - fixed glCopyPixels when copying from back to front buffer
1685         - GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array tokens had _SGI suffix instead of _EXT
1686         - glDrawRangeElements(GL_LINES, 0, 1, 2, type, indices) was broken
1687         - glDeleteTextures() didn't decrement reference count correctly
1688         - GL_SRCA_ALPHA_SATURATE blend mode didn't work correctly
1689         - Actual depth of transformation matrix stacks was off by one
1690         - 24bpp visuals didn't address pixels correctly
1691         - mipmap level of detail (lambda) calculation simplified, more accurate
1692         - 101691 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE
1693         - 101928 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE (same fix as above)
1694         - 101808 - Non-glVertexArrays tristrip bug
1695         - 101971 - find_last_3f on Dec OSF (worked around)
1696         - 102369 - segv on dec osf (possibly a duplicate of the above)
1697         - 102893 - orientations of modelview cause segfault
1698     New:
1699         - updated SVGA Linux driver
1700         - added the MESA_FX_NO_SIGNALS env var, see docs/README.3DFX
1701         - build libGLw.a (Xt/OpenGL drawing area widget) library by default
1702         - changed -O2 to -O3 for a number of gcc configs
1703     Changes:
1704         - glXCopyContext's mask parameter is now unsigned long, per GLX spec
1705 </pre>
1706
1707 <p>Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the
1708 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1709 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1720 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1721 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1722 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1723 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1724 Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1727 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1728 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1729 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1730 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1731 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1732 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1733 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1734 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1735 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1737 <h2>August 23, 1999</h2>
1738 <p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
1739 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1740 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1762 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1763 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1764 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1770 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1771 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1772 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1773 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1774 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1775
1776 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1777 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1778 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1779 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1780 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1781
1782 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1783 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1787 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1788 grateful.
