1929 <p>Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the
1930 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1931 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1942 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1943 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1944 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1945 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1946 Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1949 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1950 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1951 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1952 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1953 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1954 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1955 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1956 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1957 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1992 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1993 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1994 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1995 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1996 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1997
1998 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1999 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
2000 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
2001 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
2002 Mesa full time for some time to come.

2005 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
