+Mesa's directory tree has been overhauled. +Things are better organized now with some thought toward future needs. +

+

+In CVS, the latest Mesa 5.1 development code is now rooted under the +Mesa-newtree/ directory. The old top-level Mesa/ directory +holds the Mesa 5.0.x code which will be abandoned at some point. +

I've just upload the Mesa 3.2 beta 1 files to SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/project/filelist.php?group_id=3

+

3.2 (note even number) is a stabilization release of Mesa 3.1 meaning it's mainly +just bug fixes.

+

Here's what's changed: + +

+ +

Please report any problems with this release ASAP. Bugs should be filed on the +Mesa3D website at sourceforge.
+After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.

September 21, 1999

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

I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight, +Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.

+

I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision +Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa +and OpenGL on Linux.

+

While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration, +my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who +may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms

+

PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.

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

+

A report from the SIGGRAPH '99 Linux/OpenGL +BOF meeting is now available.

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

May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
+US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
+Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
+newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
+
+The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
+improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
+applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
+over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
+Mesa full time for some time to come.
+
+For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
+information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
+
+--------------------------------
+
+This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
+grateful.
