1708         - 101691 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE

1715         - updated SVGA Linux driver
1716         - added the MESA_FX_NO_SIGNALS env var, see docs/README.3DFX
1717         - build libGLw.a (Xt/OpenGL drawing area widget) library by default
1718         - changed -O2 to -O3 for a number of gcc configs
1719     Changes:

1721 </pre>
1722
1723 <p>Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the
1724 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1725 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1743 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1744 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1745 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1746 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1747 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1748 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1749 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1750 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1751 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1786 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1787 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1788 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1789 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1790 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1791
1792 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1793 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1794 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1795 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1796 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1797

1799 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
