## December 17, 1999

A Slashdot interview with Brian about Mesa (questions submitted by Slashdot readers) can be found at https://slashdot.org/interviews/99/12/17/0927212.shtml.

## December 14, 1999

Mesa 3.1 is released!

## 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.

## August 30, 1999

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.

## August 23, 1999

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.

## August 17, 1999

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

## August 14, 1999

www.mesa3d.org is having technical problems due to hardware failures at VA Linux systems. The Mac pages, ftp, and CVS services aren't fully restored yet. Please be patient.

## June 7, 1999

RPMS of the nVidia RIVA server can be found at `ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/misc/nVidia/`.

## June 2, 1999

nVidia has released some Linux binaries for xfree86 3.3.3.1, along with the full source, which includes GLX acceleration based on Mesa 3.0. They can be downloaded from `https://www.nvidia.com/Products.nsf/htmlmedia/software_drivers.html`.

## May 24, 1999

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 13, 1999

For those interested in the integration of Mesa into XFree86 4.0, Precision Insight has posted their lowlevel design documents at `http://www.precisioninsight.com`.

## May 13, 1999

    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.
