1633 <p>Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the
1634 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1635 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1646 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1647 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1648 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1649 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks

1653 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1654 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1655 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1656 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1657 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1658 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1659 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1660 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1661 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1696 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1697 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1698 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1699 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1700 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1701
1702 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1703 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1704 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1705 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1706 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1707

1709 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
