1682 <p>Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the
1683 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1684 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1695 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1696 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1697 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1698 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks

1702 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1703 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1704 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1705 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1706 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1707 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1708 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1709 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1710 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1732 <p><a href="http://www.nvidia.com/">nVidia</a> has released some Linux binaries for
1733 xfree86 3.3.3.1, along with the <b>full source</b>, which includes GLX acceleration
1734 based on Mesa 3.0. They can be downloaded from <code>http://www.nvidia.com/Products.nsf/htmlmedia/software_drivers.html</code>.</p>

1737 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1738 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1739 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1745 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1746 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1747 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1748 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1749 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1750
1751 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1752 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1753 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1754 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1755 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1756

1758 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
