1514 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1515 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1516 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1517 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks

1521 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1522 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1523 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1524 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1525 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1526 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1527 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1528 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1529 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1564 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1565 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1566 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1567 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1568 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1569
1570 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1571 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1572 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1573 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1574 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1575

1577 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1581 This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1582 grateful.
