1616 based on Mesa 3.0. They can be downloaded from <code>http://www.nvidia.com/Products.nsf/htmlmedia/software_drivers.html</code>.</p>

1619 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1620 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1621 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.
1622
1623 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1624 <p>For those interested in the integration of Mesa into XFree86 4.0, Precision Insight
1625 has posted their lowlevel design documents at <code>http://www.precisioninsight.com</code>.</p>

1628 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1629 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1630 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1631 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1632
1633 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1634 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1635 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1636 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1637 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1638
1639 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1640 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1644 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1645 grateful.
