1873 <p>Beta 2 of Mesa 3.1 has been make available at <code>ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/</code>.
1874 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1875 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1882 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1883 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1884 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1885 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1886
1887 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1888 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1889 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1890 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1891 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1892
1893 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1894 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
