1928 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1929 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1930 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1931 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1932
1933 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1934 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1935 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1936 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1937 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1938

1940 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
