  16 <a href="relnotes-7.1.html">Mesa 7.1</a> is released.
  17 This is a new development release.
  18 It should be relatively stable, but those especially concerned about
  19 stability should wait for the 7.2 release or use Mesa 7.0.4 (the
  20 previous stable release).

  49 Gallium3D is the codename for the new Mesa device driver architecture
  50 which is currently under development.
  51 A <a href="http://www.tungstengraphics.com/wiki/index.php/Gallium3D"
  52 target="_parent"> summary</a> of the architecture can be found on the
  53 Tungsten Graphics website.
  54 </p>
  55 <p>
  56 Gallium3D development is taking place on the <em>gallium-0.1</em> branch
  57 of the git repository.
  58 Currently, there's only a software-only driver and an Intel i915/945 driver
  59 but other drivers will be coming...

1095 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1096 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1097 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1100 <p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
1101 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1102 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1125 If you are into the quake scene, you may want to try this out, as it contains some
1126 optimizations specifically in the Q3A rendering path.

1133 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1134 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1135 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1136 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1137
1138 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1139 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1140 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1141 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1142 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1143
1144 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1145 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
