1634 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1635 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1636 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1637 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1638 Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1641 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1642 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1643 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1644 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1645 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1646 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1647 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1648 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1649 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1652 <p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
1653 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1654 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1671 <p><a href="http://www.nvidia.com/">nVidia</a> has released some Linux binaries for
1672 xfree86 3.3.3.1, along with the <b>full source</b>, which includes GLX acceleration
1673 based on Mesa 3.0. They can be downloaded from <code>http://www.nvidia.com/Products.nsf/htmlmedia/software_drivers.html</code>.</p>

1676 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1677 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1678 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1684 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1685 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1686 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1687 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1688 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1689
1690 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1691 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1692 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1693 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1694 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1695

1697 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
