1654 <p>3.2 (note even number) is a stabilization release of Mesa 3.1 meaning it's mainly
1655 just bug fixes.</p>
1656 <p>Here's what's changed:</p>
1657 <pre>
1658     Bug fixes:
1659         - mixed drawing of lines and bitmaps sometimes had wrong colors
1660         - added missing glHintPGI() function
1661         - fixed a polygon culling bug
1662         - fixed bugs in gluPartialDisk()
1663         - Z values in selection mode were wrong
1664         - added missing tokens:
1665             GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_RANGE
1666             GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_GRANULARITY
1667             GL_SMOOTH_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE
1668             GL_SMOOTH_LINE_WIDTH_GRANULARITY
1669             GL_ALIASED_POINT_SIZE_RANGE
1670             GL_ALIASED_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE
1671         - fixed glCopyPixels when copying from back to front buffer
1672         - GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array tokens had _SGI suffix instead of _EXT
1673         - glDrawRangeElements(GL_LINES, 0, 1, 2, type, indices) was broken
1674         - glDeleteTextures() didn't decrement reference count correctly
1675         - GL_SRCA_ALPHA_SATURATE blend mode didn't work correctly
1676         - Actual depth of transformation matrix stacks was off by one
1677         - 24bpp visuals didn't address pixels correctly
1678         - mipmap level of detail (lambda) calculation simplified, more accurate
1679         - 101691 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE
1680         - 101928 - Polygon clipping and GL_LINE (same fix as above)
1681         - 101808 - Non-glVertexArrays tristrip bug
1682         - 101971 - find_last_3f on Dec OSF (worked around)
1683         - 102369 - segv on dec osf (possibly a duplicate of the above)
1684         - 102893 - orientations of modelview cause segfault
1685     New:
1686         - updated SVGA Linux driver
1687         - added the MESA_FX_NO_SIGNALS env var, see docs/README.3DFX
1688         - build libGLw.a (Xt/OpenGL drawing area widget) library by default
1689         - changed -O2 to -O3 for a number of gcc configs
1690     Changes:
1691         - glXCopyContext's mask parameter is now unsigned long, per GLX spec
1692 </pre>
1693
1694 <p>Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the
1695 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1696 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1707 <p>There appear to be two new files on the ftp site, <code>MesaLib-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>
1708 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1709 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1710 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1711 Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1714 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1715 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1716 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1717 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1718 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1719 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1720 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1721 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1722 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1757 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1758 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1759 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1760 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1761 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1762
1763 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1764 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1765 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1766 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1767 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1768

1770 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1772 --------------------------------

1774 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1775 grateful.
